Google Drive OAuth app

A private off-site backup for one server.

videhs-server-backup-restic copies encrypted backups from the operator's self-managed server to that operator's Google Drive. It is not a public backup service and has no public sign-up.

The app requests Google's drive.file permission so it can create and manage the backup files it uses. It does not request access to the operator's entire Drive.

Access

Only the app's files

Google's drive.file scope limits access to files created by this app or explicitly shared with it.

Protection

Encrypted before upload

The backup repository is encrypted on the server with restic before rclone sends it to Google Drive.

Operator

Not a public service

The backup is managed by its operator. Other people should not authorize this app.
