Help setting Google Drive remote back up

[TwistAndShout]

Hello,

I am following the steps as explained here : How to Configure Google Drive as a Backup Additional Destination | cPanel & WHM Documentation, but what I see on my Google Drive admin is not what is described on the tutorial.

I managed to go through but I am stuck on this drop down menu, where I am ask to select an application type : Application type.png.

And my question is : wich type of application shall I use ?

Thanks.

It's a while since I did that and can't remember, but it must be "Web application"

Greetings!

I'm sorry for the confusion. @quietFinn is indeed correct, the application type is "Web Application"

Thanks, I was able to set Google Drive remote back up destination, let see if it works .

Thanks @cPDavidL and @quietFinn , it has worked, I have some back up files on my Google Drive.

For double safety, could you confirm that these files are indeed back ups, and that I can reinstall a ful web site with it tar savings.png ?

Thanks in advanced.

Yes you can restore the cPanel account to the state it was when backup was made (assuming that you backed up databases also, Per Account Only or Per Account and Entire MySQL Directory in Backup settings).

assuming that you backed up databases also

Hmmm, then just in order to double-double check, could you let me know if the databases are inside : backup1.png and backup1.png ?

THanks in advanced.

Databases are in mysql directory.

Databases are in mysql directory.

Sorry, I don't get it.

I simply applied the settings as shown on CPanel.

Here are 2 screenshots of what I can see if I open the content of the backup files saved on Google Drive backup1.png and backup2.png.

Can anyone let me know if the databases are indeed in the backup files ?

Thanks.

In your previous post you have backup1.png 2 times.
In backup2.png there is directory mysql, that's where database dumps should be, so you should check that directory.

Sorry about the confusion, here is a screencast of folder Mysql's content : Mysql backup.JPG.

If these are indeed databases then I feel good .

There is one database, the .sql file is the database dump.
