No, back up your data to a service independent of the service hosting what you're backing up.
It reminds me of "I use box/iCloud/some-other-cloud-drive-service so don't need backups", but don't understand the model is "I deleted/broke the data on my machine, and then synced that data loss to every machine"

Lesson learned: back your GCP data up to a real cloud like Azure or AWS.

no, just the usual: obviously always back up data somewhere where normal processes can't delete it.
that means not on the same cloud infra as the rest of it, but also means different creds and different access paths.
