Backup to Google Drive

@usmannasir @shoaibkk @die2mrw007

I have found a few significant bugs with Google Drive backups (and perhaps all backups).

I just Deleted a website and then Restored the backup that was in Google Drive. But there’s a bunch of stuff missing.

  1. SSH Access Public Key is gone
  2. ALL custom changes that I had made to the vHost Conf are reset to the defaults now. Both for the parent and child domains.

This seems like a significant problem. I only wonder what else is not being backed up by the backup mechanism…

Having good, reliable backups might be the most important feature in a control panel and it seems like none of the mechanisms work properly right now. Combined with Incremental Backup Restore not working (because restic doesn’t do proper restores), I think it should be a top priority to fix these all at once. I would be happy to help with the rclone/restic incremental backup mechanism since I already have looked into it a lot - but my lack of skill and lack of time mean that you have to take the lead.

Edit:

I just did a normal backup on a new/empty Website and the same thing happened. No SSH saved, vHost changes not restored. Rewrite rules seem to have been restored.
