When deploying pagoda panels on foreign servers, in addition to backing up website files on the server, you can also store the backup files in Google Cloud Disk.

The pagoda panel Google Cloud Disk plug-in can easily implement the entire operation, which Lao Wei shares in this article Pagoda Panel Deployment Google Cloud Disk And backup the detailed graphic process of the website and database.
