AffHelper Backup
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

01 / Prepare

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.

02 / Transfer

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.

03 / Restore

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.
