This is a bit off topic, but your answers might help noobs like me.
About 12 days ago, I registered a separate new Google account to access Google Drive cloud storage (with a different phone number). I set up automatic backups to it via Duplicati, every 24 hours, the files are encrypted (the VPN was running all the time).
After 3 days, the account was blocked with a note:
“This account appears to have been created or used with numerous other accounts for purposes that violate Google’s policies. It could have been created by a computer program or a bot.”
The account was not restored on appeal. The bot replied that I definitely broke something.
“Unfortunately, access to your account cannot be restored. According to our verification, this account was used for purposes that violate Google policies.”
I want to know the following:
- What is a violation of the rules of Google with all of the above (in your opinion)?
- What does a backup to a third-party software repository look like without violations?
- What you need to know about the behavior of the Google bot in order not to get the same problem? (Important!)
- Which cloud services are better to use to set up automatic backup and forget about it for 2 years. (Important!)
