## New: Take on-demand snapshots

The new [Take Snapshot] method allows you to create on-demand snapshots of your resources outside of scheduled backup policies.
Use this method when you need to capture a backup before making critical changes or for ad-hoc backup requirements.

## Updated: Backup policies support Google Cloud Storage buckets

High-frequency backup policies now support the `GCP_CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET` resource type.
This resource type is available in:

* [Create Backup Policy]
* [Update Backup Policy]
* [Get Backup Policy]
* [List Backup Policies]

## Updated: Snapshot expiration time in job responses

Backup and restore job responses now include `snapshotDetails.expirationTime` when available, allowing you to see when snapshots are set to expire.
This property is included in responses from:

* [List Backup Jobs]
* [Get Backup Job]
* [List Restore Jobs]
* [Get Restore Job]
