Anyone use Google Drive as a backup drive? I plan to do automatic

>>62404432 Why?
You could rent a 1tb vps for 4$/month and run netatalk, duplicity, urbackup, amanda, etc

>>62404553
>Why?
I only need storage and it's free.

Also consider using SpiderOak, as that's what Snowden recommended.

Why give your data to Goolag? Why not OneDrive or Dropbox?

Dropbox is the superior product anyway.

>>62404943
I got unlimited storage.
Data is gonna be encrypted anyway.

>Data is gonna be encrypted anyway.
How are you going to encrypt it? Via what program? Being curious here, because if you just have one encrypted file act as a sort of drive, you'll need to reupload the full file when you make even a small change.

>>62404432
This is a stupid idea. If you want cloud backups, you can get unlimited storage for like $5 a month from any number of providers.

Here:

GDrive is great for collaborative stuff, but the interface is stupid and it's sluggish as hell.

>>62404986
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
I plan on using google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount it, then use a backup program (maybe borg) that supports encrypted storage.
Having issues with authentication on headless machines however.

>>62405004
For the last time the only reason I'm considering this is because I got free unlimited storage.
If I didn't I'd just use an external HDD.

>>62405055
Apparently rclone also supports encryption.

Duplicati is free and open source and encrypted and cross platform. Supports google drive/sftp/backblaze

>>62404432
Get your own domain and use set up google apps for business. It's a truly unlimited google drive, people have uploaded 10TB+ to it with no problems.

>>62405055
Look at rclone. https://rclone.org/

I tried this and it's super slow, at least with rclone.

I do. But as said before the speed is terrible.

>>62404432
I too enjoy submitting to my overlords and handing all of my data over freely.

>>62404432
Why not just backup to an actual physical drive?

>>62408107
off site backup bro in case fires n shit

>>62404432
I have owncloud

>>62408120
You can do that with a physical drive too though.

>>62404553
Which provider?

>>62404432
can you store hentai on this?

>>62404553
>1tb vps for 4$/month
Fucking how?

>>62408157
Where would you put it?

Use Degoo

>>62408201 There are few eastern european providers with such plans. I'm not going to shill a particular one.
>>62408375 Look for "storage vps". IOPS wont be great but you still will be able to run backups and vpn at 100+mbit.

I do manual encrypted backups for gdrive using 7zip. There is definitely an application that is designed to encrypt and then upload to gdrive but I don't remember its name.

Switch to the Backup and Sync. It doesn't disconnect randomly when you are uploading large files, and it has a few more extra options. Not only that, it was also made by Google, so it acts the same way as Google Drive.

>>62408546
In rented storage, a friend's/relative's house, etc.

>>62409363
I need it on a headless server.
Also drive is slow with multiple small files. Few large files are pretty fast.

Sorry, hijacking the thread for a second. How should I make backups for Windows? I may start doing weekly backups.

>I got unlimited storage.
That accounts last weeks, have fun losing your shit, retard

>>62411841
It's my uni's

>>62411848
I know, retard, every .edu account that do weird stuff on google drive is cancelled in days, uploading encrypted shit is the main reason

>>62411887
Well I just did so let's see.

>>62404432
Last time I checked drive didn't support block level sync, so your whole container gets reuploaded after any change. I use dropbox for that btw.

So what's the best cloud/sync software for linux if I don't care about privacy/self hosted/open-source software?

>>62404432
Just buy a 10TB hard drive and get a safety deposit box or a Pelican case and put it at a remote location like your mommy's house.

Seriously? Google Drive? With only 15GB? You would be better off with Mega.nz.

>>62417458
is there a FUSE interface for Mega yet?
