Hello, I am following the steps as explained here : How to Configure Google Drive as a Backup Additional Destination | cPanel & WHM Documentation, but what I see on my Google Drive admin is not what is described on the tutorial. I managed to go through but I am stuck on this drop down menu, where I am ask to select an application type : Application type.png. And my question is : wich type of application shall I use ? Thanks.

  It's a while since I did that and can't remember, but it must be "Web application"

  Greetings! I'm sorry for the confusion. @quietFinn is indeed correct, the application type is "Web Application"

  Thanks @cPDavidL and @quietFinn, it has worked, I have some back up files on my Google Drive. For double safety, could you confirm that these files are indeed back ups, and that I can reinstall a ful web site with it tar savings.png ? Thanks in advanced.

  assuming that you backed up databases also

  
  Hmmm, then just in order to double-double check, could you let me know if the databases are inside : backup1.png ? THanks in advanced.

  Databases are in mysql directory.

  Databases are in mysql directory.

  
  Sorry, I don't get it. I simply applied the settings as shown on CPanel. Here are 2 screenshots of what I can see if I open the content of the backup files saved on Google Drive backup1.png and backup2.png. Can anyone let me know if the databases are indeed in the backup files ? Thanks.

  In your previous post you have backup1.png 2 times. In backup2.png there is directory mysql, that's where database dumps should be, so you should check that directory.

  Sorry about the confusion, here is a screencast of folder Mysql's content : Mysql backup.JPG. If these are indeed databases then I feel good :).
