Is it safe to backup google drive to external hard drive? 

While backing up Google Drive files to an external hard drive or local drive is a common method, it may not be the safest or most secure option for managing your Google Drive backup. External drives are prone to risks such as hardware failure, data corruption, theft, and accidental damage. 

A cloud backup solution, like Vaultastic, offers a more secure and durable alternative. By storing your business-critical Google Drive files in an independent cloud infrastructure, Vaultastic ensures long-term data protection and accessibility, safeguarding your important files against loss or damage.
