Who operates this application?
What does the application do?
Backup-VM to Google Drive runs as a scheduled server-side backup process. It transfers cPanel and WHM backup archives from a managed Backup-VM server into a Google Drive account that the account owner has explicitly authorised.
The application uses rclone with Google Drive API access. For the production backup configuration, the recommended OAuth scope is:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
This scope allows the application to access files and folders it creates or that the user explicitly selects/opens with the application; it does not grant blanket access to every unrelated file in the user's Google Drive.
Functions performed
- create backup folders;
- upload cPanel/WHM backup archives;
- list and identify app-created backup files and folders;
