 Do you want only sync file(default no)(y/n): 
  • If you choose n, it means you want to UPLOAD backup directory on your server to Google Drive. It is slower but can keep many backups exist on Google Drive.
  • If you choose y, it means you only want to SYNC from your backup directory on your server to Google Drive. It is fast but only 1 backup exists on Google Drive.

REMEMBER

  • If you delete file or directory on your server, when cron_backup.bash run SYNC data, it will DELETE these files or directories to be sure data on backup directory on your server and Google Drive are same.
  • If you create file or directory manualy on Google Drive, when when cron_backup.bash run SYNC data, it will delete files and directories on Cloud if they do not exist on your local server.
