Enable Direct Backups to Google Drive / OneDrive

Hi there! 👋 Thank you very much for the detailed suggestion — we really appreciate the effort and the thought behind it. At the moment, we’re not planning to add direct backup integrations with cloud platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive. There are a few reasons for this: Data Protection & Compliance ConcernsConnecting external cloud services means we would have to manage authentication tokens and handle the transfer of customer data to third-party systems. This brings a number of GDPR and data-handling requirements that complicate things quite a bit, especially for automated backup processes. Our Existing Backup System Covers Most Use CasesWe already provide an integrated backup solution built directly into our panel while we are still aiming to improve it for other products. Introducing third-party storage options would overlap with the features we already offer, and it would reduce the consistency we can maintain when supporting or restoring backups. Essentially, we’d be putting effort into a feature that mirrors something we already provide in a more controlled and reliable way. We do already offer FTP access to the backup storage which customers are able to use for products that are not already integrated. Currently Not Enough Overall InterestFrom what we have seen so far, only a very small amount of customers request external backup uploads. Most users rely on the existing built-in backup system, so the overall interest for this type of integration is quite low at the moment. Because of that, it’s not something that makes sense for us to prioritize right now. That said, we’ll continue keeping an eye on customer feedback — if we see this becoming a more common requirement in the future, we can always revisit the idea. If you have any other suggestions or needs regarding backups or server management, feel free to share them anytime!

Thank you for your suggestion. We have completely reworked the backup structure for the new ZapX panel. It now runs much more efficiently and reliably, so the problems you describe should no longer occur in this form. For a one-time export, you can download your files directly via SFTP. For this reason, we are not implementing direct cloud backups as a feature.
