Cloud SQL enhanced backups are now generally available (GA). With enhanced backups, backups are managed and stored in a centralized backup management project that leverages[Backup and DR service](https://cloud.google.com/backup-disaster-recovery)to provide enforced retention, granular scheduling, and longer retention. Enhanced backups now also support[point-in-time-recovery (PITR) after instance deletion](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/backup-recovery/restore).
For more information about the available options and their limitations, see[Backup options](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/backup-recovery/backups#backup-options).
