These circumstances result in higher occurrences of fraud, information leakage, and theft of intellectual property. If an on-premise device that is in sync with your Google Drive is corrupted by a ransomware, it will corrupt the online Google application too. Both personal as well as business users of Google Workspace across the world were affected by this.
Malicious Third Party Apps: If an end user installs an unverified third party app using their Google account, the app can trick the user into granting access to their account data and overwrite existing data. Phishing Attacks: A phishing attack revolves around scammers tricking users into giving up data or access to systems in the mistaken belief that they are dealing with someone they know or trust.
Cybercriminals often use high-profile events as a lure, for example, has seen a rise in COVID-themed phishing attacks. Cybercriminals have also attempted to use the US Presidential election as a means of attack. Click here to find out how to protect your business from phishing attacks. Google Vault is an archiving tool that retains user data stored in G Suite regardless of end-user actions, including permanent deletions.
Though Google Vault was not intended to be a backup solution, it can be used to retain your Drive files for an unlimited period. This will act as a backup in situations where you permanently lose data from the Drive. Retention holds organizational data — stored in Gmail, Hangouts, Drive, and Groups — for as long as necessary, even after a user permanently deletes it from their Google Workspace account.
Therefore, this archived data serves the purpose of a backup. To know more about the differences between Backup and Archive solutions, read this article. Google Vault will now retain all your data indefinitely and you can export the Google Drive files whenever you need it. Whereas, third-party cloud applications which are tailor-made for the purpose of backup and restore, are reliable options when it comes to backing up your Google Drive data.
Instant backup: Take a backup in no time, even for large teams. Incremental backup: Avoid duplication of data by taking a backup of only the changes made to a document since the last backup. Better storage space management: Set retention periods and extensions to avoid backing up unnecessary files. Regular activity reports: Get granular reports of all the activities in the backup account. Cloud applications like SysCloud are reliable options to back up and restore your Google Drive effortlessly.
Learn more about SysCloud Google Drive backup. Here are four ways in which individual users can back up their Google Drive data. This is a completely manual approach to backup. Just download your Google Drive files and copy it to an external hard drive. The downloaded files will be in. Preserve this copy in a safe location and extract files whenever you need it. Step 1 : Open the Google Drive account from which you want to copy files.
Select all the files you want to back up. Step 2: Add the second Google account to which you want to back up the files. Step 4 : Open the second Google Drive account and go to Gmail. You will find a new email with all the shared files attached.
You can view the newly added files in your second Google Drive account. Backup and Sync is a Google application that lets users sync their desktop with their Google Drive. This way, all the data stored in the Drive will be available on the local desktop and vice versa. Using Backup and Sync Client, users can easily download Google Drive data to their desktop, rather than manually downloading each file. The Google Backup and Sync Client downloads the Drive files and shared folders to your desktop without affecting the sharing permissions.
This section gives options to upload the files in your desktop to Google Drive. Note: Since we are using the Backup and Sync app as a tool to easily download the Drive files, skip this section.
This is where you choose the Google Drive folders that need to be synced. Now all the selected Google Drive files will be available in the selected folder on your desktop. But, this is not enough. It should take a while, but your photos should start appearing within the Downloads folder in iCloud Photos.
Visit iCloud Photos, and you should see new folders created by year — for example, 2 if you re-downloaded the photos for a certain year. Any subsequent downloads should appear within this folder, and not the original folder, which you can delete if you are certain that all images are present inside the new folder.
However, doing so deletes any photos that are already downloaded to your PC. Alternately, you can choose the Delete From Computer option to remove everything since they sync back afterward, but the Keep a Copy option puts you on the safer side. Step 4: Restart your PC, and then sign back into iCloud.
Also, make sure that any settings are properly configured and initiate a force download if iCloud Photos hangs. You can likely expect normal functionality from now on.
Hence, the only way to download them is to do so manually via iCloud. Step 1: Click the iCloud icon on the system tray, and then click Go to iCloud. Step 3: Select any modified photos that you want to download.
To select multiple items, simply hold down the Alt key during the selection process. Step 4: Place the cursor over the Download icon, and then click and hold for a couple of seconds. On the pop-up menu that shows up, check the radio button next to Most Compatible, and then click Download. While you can make use of Windows 10 features such as Storage Sense to clear out junk files in a jiffy, you can also consider moving your iCloud Photos storage location to another partition.
Step 2: Choose a location within an alternate partition — you can also choose to create a new folder directly if you want to. Once selected, click OK, and then done to save the changes. Managed to finally download those pesky photos to your PC? Of course, iCloud Photos is a mess on PC, so don't expect to be out of the woods yet — you may have to go over these troubleshooting tips once every while to rectify things.
You will need to enter payment information after this, note that Workspace has a 14 day free trial, so cancelling anytime inside this will not incur any charges. Follow the steps to verify your domain and add the correct records into DNS. Once this is done, you should be thrown into the Google workspace admin console, over at admin.
Now you will have the ability to upgrade to Google Workspace Enterprise Plus. Go ahead and do this. Select your payment plan and go through to checkout, you will see now that our new plan has unlimited storage for the new monthly cost. Note: You do not need Enterprise Plus, just regular Enterprise will give you unlimited storage, I have no idea why I did this for this tutorial, but Enterprise is cheaper and Plus will have no benefit for I will still append sudo to my commands for easy pasteability.
Another thing to note is that I will be using vim to edit configurtations because vim is awesome. If you do not wish to use vim and prefer instead, say nano, please replace all instances of vi with nano. I have created some template files that we will be using for this tutorial, so we will grab these now.
This will create a folder rclone-gmedia in your home directory. Now we will install rclone, this is done with one simple command that downloads and runs an installation script. Rclone is a tool we will be using to interface with Google drive via API. It supports many other backend storage services and has a lot of cool built in tools. If you do not wish to use the install script for security reasons, you can follow the install instructions.
Before going any further, follow the instructions here to obtain a client-id. You need to do this to use rclone properly. After this head over to Google Drive in your web browser and create a folder where all rclone data will live and enter the folder. You will need this later. Now we will setup the rclone config required for connecting rclone to our Google drive.
Run the following command to bring up the rclone config. Note: I have been informed that some of the options have changed their ordering now, so please disregard the numbers I selected and instead ensure you select the correct option corresponding to the action description.
Type n and you will be given a link. You need to copy this link and paste it into a web browser where you are logged into your Google workspace account. The best thing to do is to right click the putty icon at the top, and copy all to clipboard, and then paste that into notepad.
Grab the link and paste it into the browser. Once you do this and allow access, you will be given a code, copy that code and paste it into the terminal when rclone config is asking for your verification code. You will now be thrown to the start of the rclone config page with your config sitting there, we can now create the encrypted config. What we will do now is create another config, that will be using our previous config and adding an encryption layer.
Note: You will need to keep the 2 generated passwords safe. Like, really safe. Without this, your data is as good as gone. If you ever need to setup rclone again for this mount, you will need these keys, you have been warned. Rclone is now setup to read and write from the cloud at our whim, but currently we can only send and receive files using the rclone command. I have already done this for you, but I have left variables to allow for your own paths.
We will use sed to change these variables in the files. Once you have done that, we need to create the directories. We will also install fuse here so we are able to use rclone mount. This may be installed already on your system but was not on mine.
Now, cd into our directory we pulled earlier, and then into the services folder. We will use sed to change the values in the service files to what you have decided on, please ensure you replace the variables specified in square brackets with your chosen options, without the brackets.
I have included my variables if you are using the same paths as me. If you used another name for your rclone configuration, you will need to replace that too the same way, if not then ignore this. You will now have a completed service file that will look something like the below or exactly like mine. These commands will have also changed the relevant variables in the other service file too, which we will come to.
Lets go over some of these flags. You can see all the rclone mount flags in their documentation here , but we will go over a few I feel are noteworthy. If you feel like you need to tweak the settings, especially the VFS settings, then by all means play with this yourself.
You will see the changes once everything is setup and you can start testing with your media. We can copy the service file, enable it and start it. Enabling it will ensure that it starts at bootup, and starting it will start the mount. In this setup we are using MergerFS. You can read about it here. MergerFS can do some really complex and cool things, but we will be using it very simply here. What this enables us to do is have all new files placed locally and moved to GD at a timeframe that we set.
If the output of mergerfs --version gives you a version below 2. At the time of writing the version shipping with Debian is 2. If your version is below 2. To configure mergerfs how we would like is very easy and I have done the work for you, we will need to substitute some variables in the service file like we did last time.
There are two variables left to configure, again this is up to you if you wish to change the paths. If everything has gone correctly, you should be able to ls that directory and find that test file we uploaded earlier.
I move my data every 6 hours as Plex scans every 2 hours. You will see here that I also have a flag set to ensure files must be older than 6 hours, stopping a scenario where a file is added just before the next run and Plex does not pick this up.
For more information on these flags and many others, as previous, see the global flags. Substations need to be made as before. Again, use your own or copy mine. Cron will now execute this every 6 hours, or however long you set. We can always do this manually too of course, and with a progress output. This is useful if you need to free up space quickly. Of course, you will need to remove the cron section and possibly replace it with sudo. By adding a --progress to the end of the command and running it in your shell, you will be able to see the progress of your manually triggered move.
Here is an example of a complete run on my production machine. Whilst the move is occurring it will also show which files are currently being moved, and the status of each file. As I said before I will not be going into great detail in this step as you can find out everything you need about setting up the individual apps themselves and running them in Docker on the internet.
If you want, you can use my included docker compose file which will create and setup all the apps with the config we are about to set, from there you can do your own configurations inside the apps themselves. My compose file leverages a. Once the. Here is now I structure my downloads folder. Once you have docker installed along with docker-compose, edit the. You must ensure this user has access to the download and gmedia shares.
