Introduction

Welcome to the Empress guide on Google Drive Integration. This feature allows you to backup your Empress data to Google Drive, ensuring your important business information is always protected and accessible.

From a business perspective, this feature can add an extra layer of data security and simplify the process of data recovery. It’s like having a safe deposit box for your vital business data, offering you peace of mind and making your data management strategy more robust and reliable.

Part 1: Setting Up Google Drive Integration

Before you can start using this feature, you need to authorize Empress to upload files to Google Drive. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials via Google Settings: This is a necessary step to establish a secure connection between Empress and your Google Drive. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to do this in the Empress Documentation.
  2. Add a new Google Drive Backup: Navigate to the Google Drive list in Empress and click on New. You’ll need to fill in a few details:
    • Backup Folder Name: Choose a name for the folder where your backups will be saved in Google Drive.
    • Backup Frequency: Decide how often you want the backup to occur.
    • Email: Enter the email of the person who should receive notifications about the backup status.

After entering these details, click on Save. Next, click on Authorize Drive Access to give Empress permission to push files to your Google Drive.
3. Authorize and Save: Once you’ve done this, your backups can start being saved to Google Drive.

Part 2: Using Google Drive Integration

Backing Up Your Data to Google Drive

Once you’ve set up Google Drive Integration, you can start backing up your Empress data. This includes system backup as well as all your public and private files.

To initiate a backup, click on Take Backup. The backup process will run in the background, and you’ll receive a notification about the backup status.

Please note: If the size of the compressed backup exceeds 1GB, the system will upload the most recent backup to Google Drive instead of creating a new backup file. This feature ensures that you always have access to the latest backup, regardless of the backup size.

Empress’ Google Drive Integration is a powerful tool for enhancing your data management strategy. This feature simplifies the backup process, making it easy for you to keep your important business data safe and accessible.
