You can periodically create backups and upload them to your Google Storage Bucket.

Full documentation of the backup container can be found hee: blacklabelops/gcloud

First fire up the Jenkins master:

$ docker run -d -p 8090:8080 --name jenkins blacklabelops/jenkins

Then start and attach the blacklabelops/gcloud container!

The required example crontab can be found here: example-crontab-backup.txt

$ docker run \
  --volumes-from jenkins \
  -v $(pwd)/backups/:/backups \
  -v $(pwd)/logs/:/logs \
  -e "GCLOUD_ACCOUNT=$(base64 auth.json)" \
  -e "GCLOUD_CRON=$(base64 example-crontab-backup.txt)" \
  blacklabelops/gcloud
