```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ xtrabackup --backup --stream=xbstream --extra-lsndir=/tmp --target-dir=/tmp | \
xbcloud put --storage=google \
--google-endpoint=`storage.googleapis.com` \
--google-access-key='YOUR-ACCESSKEYID' \
--google-secret-key='YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY' \
--google-bucket='mysql_backups'
--parallel=10 \
