Google Cloud Persistent Disk Backup Strategy

We are working on setting up a GPC environment with some Windows servers. Traditional backup is to backup our data daily. I know that I can run a disk snapshot.

gcloud compute --project=projectid disks snapshot diskname --zone=zonename --snapshot-names=snapshotname

I also understand that the snapshot is a forever incremental snapshot. However, I want an ability to schedule this. I am not sure what the best approach is for this. I am not sure if this is even the best way to do this.

I appreciate any guidance in regards to do backups of instances. I have this created in AWS using Lambda I am just not sure how to do this in GPC.

You can now set snapshot schedule to backup persistent disks.

Google App Engine can schedule tasks. You could use this to invoke a function running in a GAE app that calls the snapshot API.
