I installed everything but now waiting to select the db backup and etc so i want to edit it.

Ah, I forgot that.
I named that script as backup.sh.
And after that, change permission to +x
Code:
chmod +x backup.sh
Use sudo if required.

Then after that, I add to crontab
Code:
sudo crontab -e
Why to use sudo? Because of, my VPS, to access other user directory, or /etc folder, I should act as root user.

Then inside the crontab, I insert,
Code:
0 0 * * * /pathtobackupfile
So, it will upload to gdrive in 12.00AM everyday.

Btw, to make crontab working, I should reboot my VPS.

Dynamo's script? I've done with my Ubuntu, but not working. Then I created my own script, it works perfectly with my Ubuntu 16.04 (same OS as @youssefbasha)
