Odoo Google Drive Backup with Deja Dup

Technical

The Deja Dup backup tool is a default desktop app in Linux which is not that widely used among the Linux users. Deja Dup is able to schedule file, folder and even entire system backups directly to Google Drive without any complicated commands or settings.

We know, Google Drive is a free cloud storage service from Google that allows to store and share files in the cloud for free. Each google user has free 15GB storage space in google drive and further additional space can be purchased from Google for a relatively small fee. 

In the case of Odoo, we require two backup tools.

1) Any odoo backup apps ( It must backup zip file to a specific folder) 
I recommend to use auto_backup v11 app. It can be downloaded from odoo apps https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/11.0/auto_backup/

2) Deja Dup Backup Tool
Deja is preinstalled on the Ubuntu desktop by default. If you don’t find this in your Ubuntu system, run the command from the terminal.

sudo apt install deja-dup

Odoo backup Setup

After installing auto_backup app from odoo app store, go to Technical > Back-ups > Configure back-ups
