Spanner now lets you create incremental backups through a backup schedule

## Feature Spanner now lets you create incremental backups through a backup schedule. You can specify when and how often backups are created, and how long they're retained. An incremental backup contains only the data that has changed since the previous backup. Incremental backups typically consume less storage, and can help reduce your storage costs. Incremental backups are available on the Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions. For more information about incremental backups, see [Backups overview](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/backup#incremental-backups). ## Feature [Spanner](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs) is now available on [Database Center](https://cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/overview) in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products/?e=48754805&hl=en#product-launch-stages). You can track your Spanner resources in the fleet inventory section and the resource table in the Database Center. You can also use Database Center to monitor the following health issues for your Spanner resources: * Short backup retention * Last backup older than 24h * Not replicating across regions For more information about Database Center, see [Database Center overview](https://cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/overview). For more information about health issues supported for Spanner, see [Supported health issues](https://cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/database-health-issues#supported-health-issues). ## Feature An open-source Cassandra to Spanner proxy adapter is now available. You can use it to migrate workloads from Cassandra or DataStax Enterprise (DSE) to Spanner without making any changes to your application logic.
