Archives are created separately
The source system creates backup archives. They should be encrypted before upload. Google Drive API does not itself back up PostgreSQL databases.
AffHelper Backup / Google Drive
Independent backups. Permission-controlled access.
AffHelper Backup is an operational connector intended to transfer previously prepared AffHelper archives to an owner-selected personal Google Drive account. It uses Google OAuth with the narrowly scoped drive.file permission.
Administrative integration · not a public file-storage service
What the integration does
Owner-authorized Google Drive
rclone uses OAuth to upload to the Drive account selected by the owner. Access is limited to specific files created by or available to the integration.
Off-server recovery copies
When needed, an authorized administrator can retrieve an archive and test recovery. Decryption keys should be held separately from archives.
Least privilege
Google information we can access
The integration requests https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file. It does not grant unrestricted access to all personal documents stored in Google Drive.
Within the granted permission, operations may include creation, metadata reads, upload, modification and deletion of specific files. Automatic deletion requires separate configuration.
No hidden use cases.
The connector is not intended to read Gmail, scan all of Google Drive, create advertising profiles or provide Google data to advertisers. Access can be revoked in Google Account settings.

The Google Drive connection has been tested. Daily uploads of encrypted backups and the planned 5 GB total backup budget have not yet been activated.
