GPanel Backup

Send your server's backups to your own Google Drive.

GPanel is a web hosting control panel that runs on a server you own or rent. GPanel Backup is the part of it that copies the backups of your hosting accounts (website files and databases) to a folder on a Google Drive you choose, and restores them from there.

How it works

1. In GPanel, open Backup & Restore › Destinations and choose Connect Google Drive.
2. GPanel shows a short code. You enter it at google.com/device, choose your Google account and allow access.
3. GPanel creates one folder on your Drive and uploads backup archives into it on the schedule you set. Old archives are removed according to the retention you choose.

What it can access

GPanel Backup asks for one permission only: to see, create and delete the files it created itself on your Google Drive. It cannot see or change any other file, photo, document or email in your Google account.

Where your data goes

Backups travel directly from your server to your Google Drive. They do not pass through, and are not stored on, any server operated by the publisher of GPanel. The sign-in token is kept encrypted on your own server.

Disconnecting

Delete the destination in GPanel, and remove "GPanel Backup" at myaccount.google.com/permissions. The files already on your Drive stay yours.
