How to backup your entire computer to Google Drive, including programs, settings, profiles and all files
In this article, we’ll learn how to easily backup your entire computer to Google Drive. Not just files (those you can just put in your Drive folder); we are talking about having a backup of your programs, applications, accounts, settings, profiles, personalization and all files.
Google Drive already serves many of its users as an impromptu backup solution, for some of the more important files. However, it is in no way a complete backup product. Out-of-the-box, Drive for desktop syncs the folders you choose with Google’s Cloud – it cannot back up all of your files by itself, and it definitely cannot back up anything which is not a file (apps, user profiles, settings etc.).
This tutorial demonstrates how to use a combination of Google Drive and Zinstall FullBack software to create a powerful backup, which automatically protects your entire computer, and saves your backup both locally and on Google Drive. Backups are done automatically: you don’t need to remember to run anything.
How to set it up
- Install Google Drive for desktop on your computer, sign in, and make sure your Google Drive folder is available in File Explorer (with enough storage for the backup).
- Install Zinstall FullBack.
- Point FullBack’s backup location at a folder inside your Google Drive folder.
- That’s it – FullBack keeps a complete, automatic, always-on backup of your entire computer, and Drive for desktop uploads it to Google’s Cloud as it updates.
Summary
Google Drive is one of the most popular Cloud storage solutions on the market. By using Zinstall FullBack and Google Drive together, you get a complete, automatic, always on backup of your entire Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC, including all programs, settings and files – both locally and on Google Drive.
It is extremely easy to set up. You do not have to connect any equipment to the computer, or even remember that you have a backup. It is all automatic.
And when you accidentally delete a file, or when your computer crashes, you will be able to recover efficiently and completely – and will thank yourself for taking the right precautions well in advance.
