Incremental Backups • Tab 1: Storage • Native 1920x1080 View

📌 Purpose & Quick Summary

Use the Storage tab to link off-site storage targets (FTP/SFTP servers and Google Drive) for incremental backups. Unlike standard full tarballs, incremental backups only transmit modified byte blocks and deduplicate identical data, saving up to 90% in bandwidth and cloud storage space.

🖥️ Interface Tour & Elements

  1. Available Backup Endpoints: Two primary cards representing off-site storage providers:
    • FTP / SFTP Card: Displays real-time connection status (Configured or Not Configured).
    • Google Drive Card: Displays cloud authorization status (Connected with connected Gmail address, or Checking...).
  2. Interactive Modal Trigger: Clicking either card opens its connection credentials modal.
