hassio-google-drive-backup VS Killed by Google

I'm trying to achieve something simillar to how Home Assistant's Google Drive Backup works, but for my TrueNAS Scale, I currently have the following datasets under my dataset:

First add on to install once you have it up and running should be the google drive backup so that if anything gos wrong, you can just restore your backup

Google Drive backups

Not sure what kind of backup you use, but I'd recommend https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup as it can also schedule backups as well as delete/prune old ones. Nice to have an external backup if your SD card with the latest snapshots you forgot to copy somewhere else accidentaly dies... :-)

You could move everything over to Home Assistant, and add the Google Drive backup add-on for foolproof backups that takes like 2 minutes to set up. It'll backup everything by default, including your zigbee stuff.

Actually the add-on author did state that he probably won’t add additional storage providers like Ms One drive, Dropbox, iCloud, AWS etc.

Yeah, just use https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup

Did you make a snapshots already. That's pretty important. Sd cards are more likely to fail. It would be a pain to set everything up from scratch again. You can also use the Google drive backup add-on for automatic external backups https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup

Their reputation is deserved. Google domains was killed only last year!

And this isn't even the first time I've been burned by Google's decisions. If you're familiar at all with the Google Graveyard, you'll know that Google has a long history of killing off products and services that people have come to rely on. This has happened to me a number of times, in both a personal and professional capacity, and frankly it's getting old.

Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com

They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the early half of the Pixel Era, they seemingly haven't learnt to stick to something and iterate on it well.

And the fact that over 50% of their revenues come from search and by extension, advertising.

The fact' that til this day, they still haven't evolved from the "throwing shit at the wall then at the fan" strat which explains how they have fumbled so much so quickly.

Yeah. The Google Graveyard really shows how far this can go.

The punchline is that in addition to hundreds of failed hobby projects, their stock is doing great. Monopoly power is a helluva drug.

To me Gemini is just sort of generic and uninteresting. There has to be hundreds or thousands of products and companies based on the name "Gemini" - "Bard" was at least interesting, different and distinct.

I've no idea about the quality of the product itself, I have never had a reason to use it. It's long past cliché now but I wouldn't get too attached to a Google product that is definitely costing a lot of money but which has no clear pathway to turning a profit. I think they will keep it ticking over until the hype train moves on from Chatbots/LLMs, and then it'll join the Google Graveyard @ https://killedbygoogle.com

We're not talking about reliability, we're talking about Google's penchant for killing established products that people use. https://killedbygoogle.com
