This help doc refers to the Legacy Cloud Backups Add-On. If you’re using the newer Local Cloud Backups feature built into your app, please visit this help article instead.<\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Backups Add-on for Local makes it easy to connect to your Cloud Provider (Google Drive<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or Dropbox<\/span><\/strong><\/a>) and quickly backup any Local site to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incremental backups are used, so only the exported database and any changed files are uploaded. This means your backups take less space on the provider (so you pay less!) and less time is wasted waiting for data to upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
