BACK UP SQL TO GOOGLE DRIVE
SQL Backup Master can quickly and easily be configured to back up your Microsoft SQL Server databases to your Google Drive.
Leveraging your Google Drive account for off-site SQL Server backups is an excellent and cost-effective data protection strategy. The integration process is both secure and user-friendly, utilizing the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. By clicking the "Authorize Now" button within SQL Backup Master, you will be prompted to grant permissions directly within your Google account. This modern approach ensures your Google password is never shared with our application, providing robust security.
SQL Backup Master offers exceptional flexibility for both personal and business use by supporting multiple storage locations within your Google Drive:
- My Drive: The default option for storing backups in your personal Google Drive space.
- Shared Drives (formerly Team Drives): A critical feature for collaborative environments, allowing you to send backups directly to a shared, team-accessible location. This is perfect for organizations that need centralized access to database backups.
Once you've authorized your account and selected a destination, you can define a specific folder path to keep your backups neatly organized. The true power lies in automation; schedule your backup jobs to run at any interval, and SQL Backup Master will reliably handle the entire process of backing up your SQL databases, compressing the files to save space and reduce upload time, and transferring them securely to your Google Drive.
