WhatsApp backup to Google Drive
In cloud backing up methods, you have to select whether to do the backup over Mobile Data or Wifi. Google gives online cloud storage capacity to its users, so Google account is mandatory for doing this backup.
Online Storage is given through Google Drive. It has default storage capacity of 15 GB. Google Play Services must be enabled on your android phone for this. To do backup on Google Drive,

WhatsApp backup on the Local drive

To restore the conversations, copy the above database to the same folder, then uninstall and install Whatsapp and login with the same phone number. To do local backup
- Select Back up to Google Drive option to "never"

For the first time it will take few more minutes to finish, so wait until it finished and says that last backed up today.
