Hermes Backup
Hermes Backup is a private, personal-use automation that maintains an encrypted off-site copy of essential system backups in Google Drive. It is designed for resilience, verifiable recovery, and least-privilege access.
What the application does
The application copies encrypted Restic backup data from an existing primary repository into a dedicated Google Drive location. It also verifies that expected backup snapshots exist and supports periodic integrity and restore testing.
How Google Drive access is limited
Hermes Backup requests the Google Drive drive.filepermission. This restricts it to files and folders created by the application; it does not browse or read unrelated documents already in the account.
How backup data is protected
Backup contents and metadata are encrypted by Restic before being stored in Google Drive. The repository password and Google OAuth credentials are kept separately on the owner’s private system and are not included in this website or its source code.
