Hi Guys,
Was thinking that google drive would be a great destination for a backup location, totally offsite from my server and no clogged up email account.

I dont know if anyone else has thought of this but am interested in contributing torwards this project, if anyone has any ideas where to start that would be great, not sure if there is a generic google api module that has drive integrated into it.

But as a feature request i can see it being of great benefit and practical for many people

Cheers :-)

This is a great feature request. I have implemented the same functionality for a client on WordPress and a plugin. It works on a user defined schedule and, because of the local Google Drive folder, the whole site becomes part of the user's local backup.

it would be very nice if this module could upload backed up databases to Google drive!

I don't have the bandwidth to build or maintain this but it sounds like a perfect task for somebody else to create a 3rd party module. I'll happily help answer questions and support anybody who wants to take this on.
