[arm-allstar] Google-backup.sh

[Luc Drolet VE2LUQ]

Hello Doug,

OK, I also understand why I no longer receive my SMS and E-Mail during power fail and intruder alert that now it is only said on the repeater

all this is due to the same cause following a google following the deactivation of the google option

Thank you for your good work greatly appreciate

and happy holidays

73’s
