Google Drive
Configure Google Drive as an external storage for your backups.
By default, Portabase stores backups on the local disk of the Dashboard server. For production environments, we strongly recommend using external storage to:
- Separate compute (Dashboard) from storage.
- Benefit from virtually unlimited capacity.
- Protect data if the Dashboard server is lost.
