Google Drive Backup

How automated Google Drive backup works in Accoraze.

Overview

Google Drive backup automatically syncs your Accoraze business data to your Google Drive account. This provides an off-server copy of your data that is independent of the Accoraze infrastructure — protecting you against server failures, data loss, or unexpected issues.

Availability

Google Drive backup is available on Business and Custom plans. It is not available on Free or Starter plans.

See Feature Limits for details.

Setting Up Google Drive Backup

Before You Start

  • You need a Google account (Gmail or Google Workspace)
  • Your Accoraze plan must support Google Drive backup
  • You must be an Admin or Super Admin to configure this

Steps to Connect

  1. Go to Settings → Backup or Settings → Integration
  2. Find Google Drive Backup
  3. Click Connect or Authorize
  4. Sign in to your Google account if prompted
  5. Grant Accoraze permission to write files to your Google Drive
  6. Choose a folder in Google Drive where backups will be saved (or use the default)
  7. Save the settings

Accoraze will now automatically sync backups to the selected Google Drive folder.

What Is Included in the Backup

The Google Drive backup includes:

  • Product catalog (name, price, SKU, stock)
  • Customer records
  • Supplier records
  • Order history
  • Expense records

What is not included:

  • User accounts and roles
  • Business settings and branding
  • Activity and security logs
  • Uploaded files and attachments (uploads backup is separate)

For complete data protection, also download regular exports.

Backup Frequency

Google Drive backups are created automatically at scheduled intervals. The exact frequency depends on your configuration and plan. Check the backup settings in Accoraze for the current schedule.

Managing the Google Drive Connection

Disconnect

If you no longer want automatic Google Drive backups:

  1. Go to Settings → Backup
  2. Find Google Drive Backup
  3. Click Disconnect or Remove
  4. Confirm

Existing backup files in Google Drive are not automatically deleted. You can manually remove them if needed.

Change Folder

To change the Google Drive folder where backups are saved:

  1. Go to Settings → Backup → Google Drive
  2. Click Change Folder or Select Folder
  3. Choose a new location
  4. Save

Future backups will be saved to the new folder.

Accessing Your Backups

Backups appear in your Google Drive as files or folders created by Accoraze:

  1. Open drive.google.com
  2. Navigate to the folder you selected during setup
  3. Look for files or folders named with the backup date

You can download, share, or move these files just like any other Google Drive files.

Restoring from Google Drive Backup

Restoring from a Google Drive backup requires assistance from the Accoraze support team. You cannot restore data directly from Google Drive on your own.

To request a restore:

  1. Contact Accoraze support
  2. Provide details about which backup you want to restore from
  3. The support team will assist with the restore process

Limitations

  • Google Drive backup has storage limits based on your Google Drive plan. If your account runs out of space, backups may fail.
  • Large data exports may take time to upload. Some files may be too large for standard Google Drive limits.
  • Backups do not include absolutely everything — regularly download CSV exports for complete coverage.
