Google Drive Backup

Automatically store database backups on Google Drive.

Settings Fields

FieldDescription
Client IDThe OAuth 2.0 identifier from Google Cloud Console
Client SecretThe OAuth 2.0 secret key (stored encrypted)
Refresh TokenThe access refresh token (stored encrypted)
Backup FolderThe folder name on Google Drive (created automatically if it does not exist)
Auto-BackupEnable/disable automatic backup uploads to Google Drive

Setup

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop app or Web application)
  3. Enable the Google Drive API and the Google Calendar API
  4. Use the OAuth 2.0 Playground to generate the Refresh Token, selecting the scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar
  5. Copy the Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token into the respective fields
  6. Click "Save"
Tip: The same OAuth credentials are also used for Google Calendar sync — that's why the Calendar scope is required even if you don't use Google Calendar right away.
