What this is
Shared Memory Backups is a personal utility maintained by one owner for one owner. It makes encrypted copies of that owner's own shared-memory database and keeps them in that owner's own Google Drive account.
Setup status
This utility is still being set up. End-to-end backup uploads are not running yet, so there are no scheduled backups, no verified upload cycle, and nothing here should be read as a working service. This page exists to describe what is being built and how it is meant to handle data.
Not a public service
There is no sign-up, no account creation, no waiting list, and no multi-user support. Nobody other than the owner can use this utility or store data through it.
How a backup is meant to work
-
Snapshot the database
The utility takes its own copy of the shared-memory database, so the backup reflects a consistent point in time.
-
Encrypt locally, before upload
The snapshot is encrypted on the owner's own machine first, using a public key. The file leaves the machine already encrypted; plaintext is not sent to any remote storage.
-
Store the encrypted copy in the owner's Google Drive
Only the encrypted file is uploaded, and only into the owner's own Google Drive account, using an access scope that limits the utility to files it creates or that the owner explicitly shares with it.
Because encryption happens before upload, the storage provider holds encrypted data rather than a readable database, and the key needed to decrypt it is kept away from the machine that runs the backups.
Privacy
The Privacy page describes exactly what is stored where, which Google permissions are requested, how long backups are kept, and what these pages do and do not collect.
In short: these pages are plain static HTML with no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no JavaScript, and no cookies; backups are encrypted before they are uploaded; and it is the owner's own data in the owner's own account. One honest caveat: the static hosting provider may process standard technical request data in order to serve the pages, as described on the Privacy page.
What this is not
- Not a product, a hosted platform, or an account you can sign up for.
- Not a data-collection service: the pages run no analytics and set no cookies, though the hosting provider may keep standard request logs.
- Not a guarantee: this is a small personal utility, not a commercial backup service with a service-level agreement.
- Not a replacement for the owner keeping independent offline copies.
