# Backup and DR Backup Plan Association

Associates a backup plan with a specific resource in Google Cloud Backup and DR service. It defines which workloads or data sources are protected under a given backup plan, ensuring consistent backup scheduling, retention, and recovery policies. This association enables automated protection and centralized management of backup operations across Google Cloud environments.
