A Persistent Disk with a Snapshot Schedule that Is Attached
A snapshot schedule is a resource policy, and its attachment to a disk is a separate resource, so a schedule in the console with no disks is the usual state; encryption is Google-managed unless a KMS key is given. The daily schedule created and attached or yours attached (none by name), your key when given, and the disk attached from its own side so the instance's disk list is left alone.

Documentation
gcp-persistent-disk
A Compute Engine persistent disk with a snapshot schedule that is
attached, encrypted with your key when you have one. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), google provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
A snapshot schedule that is not attached snapshots nothing. Created
and attached here (or yours attached); none needs
accept_no_snapshot_schedule.
Encryption Google-managed unless kms_key.
Attachment through google_compute_attached_disk, so the instance's
own disk list is left alone.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
gcp-backup-dr
The vault and the plan are what the console shows; the association is what makes a backup exist, and a plan associated with nothing backs up nothing. Enforced retention is the setting ransomware cannot undo - no backup younger than it can be deleted by anyone - and WITHIN_PROJECT access lets a compromised owner restore everything. Resources come with the plan; 14 days enforced; org-scoped.
gcp-parallelstore
A persistent Parallelstore instance on the private services range you already allocated, because a VPC has one service networking peering and a module that made another would break the databases on it. Twelve TiB minimum in steps of four, balanced striping, one zone. SCRATCH, which loses the data on maintenance, is accepted by name; the bucket you import from is the durable copy.
gcp-snapshot-schedule
The resource policy is the schedule; a disk follows it only through a separate attachment, so a policy that reads daily-keep-30 in the console and is attached to nothing has never taken a snapshot. Takes the disks with the schedule and refuses one with none. Keeps the snapshots when the disk is deleted, because APPLY_RETENTION_POLICY lets them age out in exactly the window they are needed.
gcp-storage-transfer
delete_objects_unique_in_sink turns a backup into a mirror: an object deleted at the source is deleted at the destination on the next run, replicating the event the copy was meant to survive; and a job with no notification fails while its status stays ENABLED. Copies only, refuses mirroring and moving unless accepted, publishes every outcome to a topic, and spells out what the service agent needs.
gcp-filestore
A managed Cloud Filestore NFS share for GKE and Compute Engine, VPC-peered with no public exposure, optional per-client export rules for least-privilege access, and deletion protection on.
gcp-gcs-bucket
Hardened GCS bucket with uniform access, versioning, lifecycle/soft-delete policies, CMEK and least-privilege IAM.
