Create Super Backup for your images

About Super Backup

Do you want a really disaster-proof solution to store your image files? We keep your stuff in the Google Cloud, but you can save your images from your Shardimage storage to various storage providers, just in case.

At this moment you can choose a handful of providers, and more coming soon.

What happens if there is already a file on your storage space with the same name as the one you want to upload?

  • Super Backup for Cloudinary: shows error message, does not overwrite
  • Super Backup for Google Cloud Storage: overwrite
  • Super Backup for Amazon S3: overwrite
