Does Google Compute Engine provide automatic, scheduled backups for virtual machines? I want to backup entire disk, exactly how I can do it manually, Couldn't find it in their documentation, and if not, what are other strategies for scheduling backups you have used?

In the Name column, click the name of the VM that has the persistent disk to back up. In Storage : To back up the boot disk, in the Boot disk section, click the Name of the boot disk. To back up an attached persistent disk, in Additional disks, click the Name of the attached persistent disk.
Google Compute Engine provides a scalable number of virtual machines (VMs) to serve as large compute clusters for that purpose. GCE can be managed through a RESTful application program interface (API), command line interface or web console.
Compute Engine offers predefined virtual machine configurations for every need from small general purpose instances to large memory-optimized instances with up to 11.5 TB of RAM or fast compute-optimized instances with up to 60 vCPUs.
You can use Compute Engine API to programmatically do automatic snapshot. A similar question has been answered on this thread.
