How to disable restoring data to different accounts.


By default, CubeBackup allows administrators and domain operators to restore Google Workspace data to a different account. However, for the sake of security and privacy, some companies may wish to disable this feature entirely. This can be done by modifying a configuration file.

Restore to owner only

  1. Log (or SSH) into your backup server.

  2. Open the configuration file config.toml using a text editor.

    Note:
    Starting with version 4.7, the configuration file is located at <installation directory>/etc/config.toml for fresh installations of CubeBackup. For installations upgraded through the console, or versions prior to 4.7, the configuration file is still located at <installation directory>/bin/config.toml.
         On Windows, the installation directory is located at C:\Program Files\CubeBackup4 by default.
         On Linux, the installation directory is located at /opt/cubebackup by default.

  3. Find the [Restore] section and change the value of RestoreToOwnerOnly to true. If your config.toml file doesn't contain a [Restore] section, you will need to create one. After you have finished, the [Restore] section should look like this:

    [Restore]
    RestoreToOwnerOnly = true
  4. Restart the CubeBackup service using the following command.

    Please run this command.

    sudo /opt/cubebackup/bin/cbsrv restart

    Open a Command Prompt as Administrator, and run this command.

    "C:\Program Files\CubeBackup4\bin\cbsrv.exe" restart

    Open the Windows PowerShell as Administrator, and run this command.

    & "C:\Program Files\CubeBackup4\bin\cbsrv.exe" restart

    Please run this command to restart the container.

    sudo docker restart <container-name>
