Create an automatic mysql backup file and upload it on google storage.

I needed a free and automatic solution to maintain backups of my database without using my server space. So there it is.

Google Storage has a free quota of 5gb storage.

• Node 8.x
• Have MySQL installed and mysqldump on path

Install the dependencies in the project folder:

$ npm install

Create a Service Account. Save the credentials in credentials.json

$ node .

0 0 * * * <NODE_PATH>/bin && <PROJECT_PATH>/index.js
