How to Configure Google Drive Backup


RTS has added support for automatically uploading your RTS Backups to Google Drive for easy offsite backups. The backup will be uploaded when the standard nightly backup has completed. You can use the same Google account to back up multiple location databases, saving your chain databases under one account.

Configuring

Navigate to Actions -> Database Utilities -> Cloud Backup

Set the number of backups you wish to have on your Google Drive account in the Number of days to retain box.
Notes
Note: if you wish to disable the backup, set the Number of Days to Retain to -1.

Press the Authorize Account button. This will open a web browser and ask you to sign in to the Google Account you wish to upload backups to.
Press Allow to give RTS permission to upload and delete backups.
