Now, in the ‘Remote Backup’ section, choose Backup Type as ‘Full’ and select the bucket you have just created for Google Drive. You can then choose to exclude paths if necessary (for the paths you do not want to take backup). Then, you can also enable ‘Automatic Backup’ and choose the backup frequency. Plus, you have the option to use the ‘Automatic Delete’ option with which you can set days after when your backup will be deleted automatically**.** Once done, hit the ‘Save’ button. [Note: Google Drive currently does not support Incremental backup option. Also, since this is a remote backup provider, you only need to choose the remote backup option with Google Drive.]
