Virtualmin

Hi

I’m using Virtualian payed version and just discovered it now accepts backup to Google Drive but documentation is not up to date and not sure what it needs from Google console website to setup it correctly ! Is there at least a beta documentation avalaible somewhere about it ?

Thanks

Hi,

Virtualmin Pro doesn’t support “Google Drive” but “Google Cloud Storage”. These are two different services provided by Google, the latter being a paid service similar to “Amazon S3”, and “Rackspace Cloud Files”.

You can learn more about “Google Cloud Storage” at:

https://cloud.google.com/storage/

Once you’ve established your “Google Cloud Storage” account, you can go into Virtualmin Pro and setup your:

  • Google account email address
  • OAuth2 client ID
  • OAuth2 client secret
  • Project name

Then choose on the same screen whether to allow use of provider by “Resellers” and/or “Domain Owners”.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks Peter for explanations, so bad it’s not working with Google Drive that now has unlimited storage in its most expensive options !

Hi,

No worries, glad I was able to help. If you need inexpensive backup storage space, let me know. I might be able to offer you some space for an inexpensive fixed price per month.

Drop me a line by email or Skype to discuss if you’re interested.

I can do a dedicated 500Gb backup SSH server for you for about 15€ a month. Guarenteed 200 Mbit/s but on a 1Gbit network so virtually always hitting higher.

Thanks Peter for offer but I’ll continue for now to do backup through SFTP to my personal NAS at home (fiber gigabit connection :wink:
