Prepare the archive
The Hermes installation creates a backup of its configuration and persistent application data on the owner's server.
PERSONAL BACKUP UTILITY
Encrypted backups.
Owner-controlled recovery.
Hermes Backup rclone is a private utility for backing up a self-hosted Hermes Agent installation. It uses local backup tools and rclone to upload encrypted backup archives to the owner's Google Drive.
Private useEncrypted before uploadGoogle Drive storage
Encrypt locally
The backup archive is encrypted before uploading. Decryption requires a recovery key that is kept separately from the server.
Store in Google Drive
rclone transfers encrypted backup files to the owner's designated Google Drive folder, where they can be retained and retrieved for recovery.
Why Google Drive access is requested
The utility uses Google Drive authorization to upload, list, verify, retrieve, and manage encrypted backup archives. Depending on the scopes authorized, Google Drive access may technically extend beyond the designated backup folder, but its intended operation is limited to backup management. The utility is not a general-purpose file sharing or analytics service.
