[LIS-Forum] Automatic remote backup of Koha MySQL database on Google drive

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Dear all,

I'm sharing this blogpost here, hoping hat more people may benefit
(and not just Koha users) from it:

"Easy peasy way of automating remote backup on Google Drive for your
Koha database"

This post discusses how to automate your Koha ILS’s MySQL database
backup on to Google drive and send out an email when it is complete.
It shows how you can take advantage of Google Drive’s 15GB space for
free (Dropbox only gives you 2GB on the free access) and do it all
from the command line and save the much needed RAM for your Koha
server rather than waste it on the GUI, which is also a security risk.
Further this attempts to introduce the new FOSS users into details of
the commands they are supposed to follow, with further reading
resources, should they be interested to learn more about these.
