Homelab Backup

A private tool that keeps an encrypted copy of one household's home server in its owner's own Google Drive.

Homelab Backup is not a public service and has no sign-up. It is used by a single household, on equipment that household owns, to protect its own files.

What it does

• Each night it copies the home server's app data and documents to a folder in the owner's Google Drive.
• Everything is encrypted on the home server before it is uploaded. Google stores the files but cannot read them or their names.
• It keeps earlier versions of changed files for 180 days, so a mistake can be undone.

How it uses Google Drive

The app asks for one permission, Google's per-file access (drive.file). That lets it see and manage only the files it created itself. It cannot see anything else in the Drive.
