JetBackup 5 google drive destination

That has ZERO relation to google drive. Google drive ≠ Google cloud storage.

Thank you for your comment.

I know that its easy for me to ask but at development end it will take time and require lot of security plugins. But please launch it as soon as possible to make jetbackup more versatile and efficient.

It's welcomed, but it's not Google Drive.

On RHEL 8 we cannot use Jetbackup 4, for now a lot more complete and versatile, so at least we need Google Drive here please :)

We need Google drive as soon as yesterday.

Yes, I'm trying not to behave like an angry sys admin and rage out right now haha, but jetback 5 seems like an overall downgrade... I'm extremely confused why several features are removed, nothing I have come across added is a wow factor, then I find out it doesn't support THE SAME destinations as 4, and specifically GOOGLEDRIVE?!Absolutely unacceptable folks. If I don't here back from someone here next day or two, I'll be calling in.... I have everything setup for GDrive as I"m paying for the storage THERE, as well as you can make them easy accessible to internal and external users.... INSANITY that this is not setup out of the box for launch imho.... Unless, of course, there's some crazy s**t I am just ignorant to, this is ridiculous.

Thank for the on par project, that was super easy to install with cpanel, so I didn't have to spend time finding a more functional backup solution. However, I am currently wondering why I pay and use jetbackup 5 after familiarizing myself it, as I have been forced to upgrade several things on the web server recently.

Update: Why?

Run Backup job in CloudLinux LVE NOT supported in Jetbackup 5

Why remove this feature? Not only is it a pretty important piece to just have backed up, you know because the tool purchased for backup made it so darn convenient Why not have the CLLVE settings backed up? Maybe I'm ignorant to how UNIMPORTANT the settings are, or unaware of other alternative backup solutions I already have and have paid for also? Could someone please inform me of the logic behind not making sure this was included out-of-box too? And never? Weird....

Thank you for your time,

Scott

Hello Scott,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us regarding your need for Google Drive support in JetBackup 5. Please note that the new backup and indexing engine is still under the EXPERIMENTAL Tier as we continue to improve its stability, efficiency, and versatility. Once it reaches the STABLE Tier, our developers will continue to implement more Destination Plugins with this new engine based on feedback and demand(votes). Just to update, the next major milestone currently in progress in our development roadmap is upgrading JetBackup 5 to PHP 8.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to provide a bit of insight on our approach to developing JetBackup 5 and all future offerings. We switched our approach from a platform-oriented to a platform-agnostic approach which allows us to significantly reduce our development, support, and maintenance overhead as well as help streamline the implementation of new and highly requested features and functionality in JetBackup. This led to the introduction of our new backup and indexing engine which is currently utilized in S3 Compatible Destinations.

We strategically chose to introduce this on S3 Compatible Destinations since the S3 API is being widely supported and adopted across multiple storage providers/vendors (including Google Cloud Storage) and this helps us continue to improve the performance and stability of our new backup and indexing engine towards a STABLE release by exposing it to as many S3 compatible storage providers/vendors as possible.

As to briefly address CloudLinux LVE support in JetBackup 5 and keep this feature request on topic, please note that JetBackup 5 now utilizes cgroups which allows you to limit the same CPU and IO load resources for JetBackup 5 processes at the Linux kernel level, providing resource management features for all supported flavors of Linux, compared to a wrapper like CloudLinux LVE which support is limited to CloudLinux OS Installations.

We greatly value everyone's feedback as we take these into consideration and continue to regularly reassess our development roadmap and overall direction based on the feedback and demand we gather from the community. Thank you again everyone for continuing to provide us with your honest and valuable feedback as we strive to deliver a product that reflects the community's needs.

Best Regards,

JetApps Team.

I'm sorry but the "experimental" status doesn't make sense. First of all, JB5 it's promoted everywhere, something a bit unusual for an experimental or alpha or beta product.

In the other hand, CentOS 7 it's near EOL, everyone it's mounting the new servers with AlmaLinux 8, CLN8 or some RHEL 8 distro, and you only support JB5 in this OS, no JB4 on RHEL 8 variants. So experimental... doesn't make sense.

Last, but not less important, if the users asks for Google Drive, please, stop replying with "Google Cloud Storage" because it's not even close.

I switched on many machines to JetBackup 4 because was easy, powerful and convenient, with Google Drive. If JB5 continues some times without Drive support, it's not convenient for us any more...

Hello Carlos,

Just to clarify, JetBackup 5 itself is already available on the STABLE Tier along with Local and SSH destinations, but the new Backup and Indexing Engine, currently utilized in S3 Compatible Destinations, is still under the EXPERIMENTAL Tier as we continue its development. Once our new engine is promoted to STABLE, our team will then utilize this to implement new destinations moving forward.

Please rest assured that we are committed to delivering a product that reflects the community's needs and exceeds the performance, reliability, and convenience that our community has come to expect from our previous releases as we continue to add new and highly-requested features and provide the most up-to-date and feature-rich backup solution.

As always, we greatly appreciate everyone's continued interest and support of JetBackup 5's development.

Thank You,

JetApps Team

100% agree with @carlos. Absolute insanity that EVERY core feature is not available in 5, specifically GDrive integration. It's almost like NOT ONE person working at jetback thought to check user feature usage to easily determine features that would likely be a MUST, right? I can only imagine how many thousands of accounts are using their GWorkplace account for GDrive backup, since they're already paying for large amount of storage, and Google integration system is pretty secure and solid...

Also absolutely insanity that CS is trying to gaslight us with experimental Shoot, 4 is still experimental with basic barely explained documentation. For example, I have 4 complaining about no destination setup with jb config backup, BUT IT IS, so I search for assistance. Plain google search pulls up jetapps doc, so of course that seems like a good one! And it says nothing about where to enable.... Insanity. So then I search ON THIS PAGE, and there's absolutely nothing in results for jb config... ..🤦

Went with jb bkup because it's pimped in cpanel, and supposed to be integrate nice and easy, but every single time I've tried to use restore over 5 years it's useless. Before I burn time finding a better replacemenet, I do plan to demand a phone consultation to help me understand why in lord's name I don't seem to comprhend how to use this thing after 5 years of trying. Then perhaps we can also discuss why on lord's name I had to do a bunch of flippin installation and config to setup 5 along side 4 and it wasn't a WELL THOUGHT out convertion system to simply migrate all my *#$* from 4 to 5. INSANITY and several hrs burnt for nothing.

#end_rant

Thank you so much for the time, and the hard work. But the more I delve into jetapps, I keep asking myself where the polished 20% of the hard work is... Love to find it!

Hello Scott,

Thank you for taking the time to continue providing us with your feedback. As mentioned in our previous response, the new Backup and Indexing Engine is still under the EXPERIMENTAL Tier as we continue development to improve its performance and stability. Once our new engine is promoted to STABLE, our developers can begin the process of adding new Destination Plugins to JetBackup 5.

If you find any information on our documentation unclear, I highly encourage you to reach out to our 24/7/365 Support Team at support@jetapps.com for any assistance you may need with using JetBackup!

As our team continues to implement new and highly-requested features and functionality in JetBackup and expand support for more panels and platforms, we found that JetBackup 4's panel-specific implementation wasn't suitable for supporting additional control panels without essentially starting from scratch because it was very reliant on panel-specific tools and integrations. With this in mind, we opted to switch our approach in developing JetBackup 5 from a platform-oriented to a universal/platform-agnostic approach.

Central to our mission is to:

• Allow incremental backups for all future and upcoming destinations using a “service-based” approach.
• Keep the backup structure for any OS and panel the same - so we can backup/restore from/to any supported OS/panel.
• Adding expansion mechanism (plugins)

This translate directly to:

• Flexibility in supporting multiple panels and operating systems, and being platform-agnostic

JetBackup 5 for Interworx and JetBackup 5 for Plesk are already in active development and continue to be highly requested by the JetBackup community.

• More granular control over backups and restores.
• Ability to restore your account across multiple platforms and control panels.
• Better backup performance and efficiency improvements.
• Reduce our development, maintenance, and support overhead

To achieve these optimizations, our development team introduced a new core, backup engine, and structure/format that allows JetBackup to be less dependent of 3rd party platforms, significantly reducing our support and development overhead by streamlining our overall development process and accelerating the delivery of highly-requested features and improvements in JetBackup.

As a result, we will no longer be using the backup engine/structure provided by 3rd party control panels. This also improves JetBackup's core functionality to be much faster, reliable, secure, and agile and our internal benchmarks show significant improvement in backup and restore times, I/O usage, and space allocated on the destination.

We would love to arrange a phone call with you to hear out your feedback and concerns as we seek to address them accordingly. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at sales@jetapps.com or you can always give us a call during business hours with our contact information here: http://www.jetapps.com/#contact. We look forward to continuing our dialogue.

Kindly add google drive in jetbackup 5

Thanks

Abdul Mannan

Very dissapointed that google drive is not implemented. I am going to cancel my jetbackup license and will be going back to cpanels default backup configuration which still supports google drive. I would go back to jetbackup 4, however, it is not supported under Cloudlinux 8.

Jetbackup 5 might use a better core that utilizes a new backup engine and structure, but when you get CUSTOMER feedback this bad, you should probably consider it. I'd rather have a slow backup with less granular control than one where I have to dish out extra money for a brand new storage provider. All I care about is the reliability and destination control. Speed does not matter, restore time does not matter, server usage does not matter, as long as there is a backup, that is all I care about regardless of the above issues.

I aggre, we will use default cpanel backup as they support many backup storage model. Jetbackup not serius for adding google drive. This has been more than 1 year not yet have any eta for dev process.

Wow need 2 year just build gdrive destination. Hmm like building datacenter need time up to 2 year haha.

And it will be wonky 🤦‍♂ 😂

How about Q3 2023 now?

yes we are in the middle of march and we are waiting for 5.3 ?

March month is about to end, and April is coming!

This is a lost cause... asking these guys about any of these plugin developments. They are clearly not interested in putting any focus on this any time soon.

Today is April 1st and still no update.
