Symbolic links?
How can I backup with Symbolic links? I need to move real data to Google drive and google drive will need authorization.
Google can help you with this
Checking since morning about this but let me search about symbolic links.. do you know anything about Duplicati by the way?
Nope, i've never worked with that
Does Duplicati do incremental backups to Google Drive?
Duplicati is a free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers. It works with Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH, FTP (and many more).
Duplicati has built-in AES-256 encryption and backups can be signed using GNU Privacy Guard. A built-in scheduler makes sure that backups are always up-to-date. Last but not least, Duplicati provides various options and tweaks like filters, deletion rules, transfer and bandwidth options to run backups for specific purposes.

I was doing it with Duplicity on Ubuntu - let me find that cronjob.
EDIT: A little messy, but it worked - https://gist.github.com/Silvenga/6835237
I have cent os on development and debain on testing vps .. can you provide me info first how to install duplicity?
Duplicity works with only ftp or ssh right? Not Google Drive? But Duplicati works with Google Drive.. let me say that.
Can you give me instructions for Debian Squeeze?
When I tried to install from your .sh it says
Unable to locate package python-gobject-2
Duplicity is able to backup to Dropbox, Mega.co.nz (50gb free), Amzon S3, etc. Just make sure you're running a recent build of duplicity (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS does not have this).
Duplicity has a lot of backend plugins (allowing integration with multiple services) created by many great hackers.
Installing on CentOS: link
Installing on Debian is included in my gist.
Try without the '2':
apt-get install python-gobject
I am getting this error mate
UnsupportedBackendScheme: scheme not supported in url: gdocs://myemail/server
You could try mounting google drive to your vps http://xmodulo.com/2013/10/mount-google-drive-linux.html
You may be running an old version. Ensure you are running 6.23.
duplicity --version
Finally I was able to installed but when I tested command like
duplicity /home/backup gdocs://myemail/server
it gave me following error
BackendException: Error while fetching remote entries: 'DocsClient' object has no attribute 'get_all_resources'
I have installed all things you said on GIT
