Here is how to create a dedicated one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a Project:<\/strong> Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/console.cloud.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Cloud Console<\/a>, click the project dropdown, and select <strong>New Project<\/strong>. Name it something like &#8220;Rclone Backup&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enable the API:<\/strong> Search for <strong>Google Drive API<\/strong> in the top search bar and click <strong>Enable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Configure OAuth Consent Screen:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>APIs &amp; Services &gt; OAuth consent screen<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Audience<\/strong>, choose <strong>External<\/strong> user type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Branding<\/strong>, fill in the mandatory fields (App name, email addresses).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Data Access<\/strong>, add the scope <code>...\/auth\/drive<\/code> to give Rclone full access to manage files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Audience<\/strong>, add the administrator&#8217;s Google account email as a test user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publish the app:<\/strong> still under <strong>Audience<\/strong>, click <strong>Publish app<\/strong> so that the publishing status changes from <em>Testing<\/em> to <em>In production<\/em>. As long as it stays on <em>Testing<\/em>, Google expires the refresh token after seven days, which would silently break the nightly backup from Phase 4 every week. The exemption from that rule covers only the basic name, email and profile scopes, not <code>...\/auth\/drive<\/code>. The app itself stays unverified, so the consent screen shows a warning that has to be confirmed once via <strong>Advanced<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generate Credentials:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <strong>Clients<\/strong> tab of the Google Auth Platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create client<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crucial step:<\/strong> Choose <strong>Desktop app<\/strong> as the application type. This prevents issues with redirect URLs later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create<\/strong>. Copy the <strong>Client ID<\/strong> and <strong>Client Secret<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: Local Authorization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the server has no web browser, the access token gets generated on a main computer instead (Windows\/Mac\/Linux).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install Rclone on the local computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a terminal and type <code>rclone config<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press <code>n<\/code> for a new remote and name it (e.g., <code>gdrive<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <code>drive<\/code> as the storage type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paste the <strong>Client ID<\/strong> and <strong>Client Secret<\/strong> when prompted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When asked <code>Use auto config?<\/code>, type <code>y<\/code> (Yes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The browser opens. Log in and grant permission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Back in the terminal, a block of JSON code containing the token appears. <strong>Copy this entire token block.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 3: Server Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now on to the headless server (via SSH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install Rclone on the server (<code>sudo apt install rclone<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run <code>rclone config<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new remote (<code>n<\/code>), give it exactly the name used locally (<code>gdrive<\/code>), choose <code>drive<\/code>, and paste the Client ID and Secret.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When asked <code>Use auto config?<\/code>, type <code>n<\/code> (No).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When prompted for the result\/token, <strong>paste the JSON block<\/strong> copied from the local machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save and exit. Test it by typing <code>rclone lsd gdrive:<\/code>. The Google Drive folders should appear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 4: Automating Backups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that Rclone is authorized, let&#8217;s set up an automated backup script. Create a file named <code>backup.sh<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>#!\/bin\/bash\nBACKUP_DIR=\"\/path\/to\/local\/backup\"\nDATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)\nREMOTE=\"gdrive:ServerBackups\"\n\n# Your backup commands here (e.g., mysqldump, tar)\ntar -czf \"$BACKUP_DIR\/data_$DATE.tar.gz\" \/var\/www\/html\n\n# Copy to Google Drive (Rclone creates the folder automatically)\nrclone copy \"$BACKUP_DIR\/data_$DATE.tar.gz\" \"$REMOTE\"\n\n# Keep only the last 7 days of backups on Google Drive\nrclone delete \"$REMOTE\" --min-age 7d\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make the script executable (<code>chmod +x backup.sh<\/code>) and add it to cron (<code>crontab -e<\/code>) to run nightly. The headless server is now securely backed up to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lw-quellen\">\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rclone.org\/docs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rclone documentation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backing up a remote server (like a Raspberry Pi) directly to Google Drive is a brilliant way to ensure data safety.
