    Hello good day!

    i tried to mount google drive to /var/backup using,
    Code:
    rclone mount --daemon gdrive:/backup /var/backup
    when i backup a website and its database, it works. the problem is when the server restart, the mount is no more and must redo the mounting manually.
    how can i make the mount /var/backup permanent?
    thanks a lot in advance

    Add the same properly in fstab?

    I tried Internet Search engines with
    Code:
    linux add google drive to fstab
    and it seems to find good articles.

    If you don't need the permanent mount, another option is to create ispconfig backup mount and unmount scripts. Use fstab if you want it always mounted.

    Since you have commands that reliably mount (and unmount ?) the backup directory, try what @Jesse Norell suggested and put those commands in ISPConfig backup mount and unmount scripts.
    Find info on how to use them using Internet Search Engines for example with:
    Code:
    site:howtoforge.com backup mount unmount script
