Thanks for the response :) this got me thinking, maybe rclone is erroring out or restarting or something to that effect, because I have one folder where all of the original copies were uploaded on the same day, February 10 2022. So first off, for anyone else who uses rclone + cron, does my script look correct? And second, is there a simple way to avoid duplication that I'm missing? I've noticed that for a lot of the files with many copies such as (30), most of the copies come from the same day, a couple minutes after each other. The root directory even has a random desktop.ini directory with a whopping (449) by it, one copy for every day I've run this by the look of it. I see lots of (2) and (3)s, but sometimes it's (40) or more.

I've had this running for a year or two by now, and I've noticed a lot of files appear to have duplicate copies. Once a day cron kicks off this script: /usr/bin/rclone sync /srv/samba/share/photos remote:fs02-photos -log-file /home/venus/rclone_upload.log -verbose But maybe there are work arounds I haven't thought of or tried yet, e.g.Hey all, I am trying to keep a directory backed up in a Backblaze bucket. Why only the snapshot folder? rclone does not do hardlinks. Drawback: You have two copies of everything in you local filesystem. Has the further added bonus that the backup itself takes minutes, the upload then works in the background. Rclone mount odcrypt /path/to/local/mount to access the unencrypted content of the backup Whereas odcrypt is an encrypted version of the onedrive repository configured in rclone. Rclone sync /media/CloudronBackup/snapshot odcrypt: -v -log-file=/media/'$d'_rclone-upload.log I used to (and might switch back to) backup to the file system via rsync and hardlinks and then the snapshot folder gets synced encrypted to Onedrive (where I have 1 TB laying around from an O365 subscription): #!/bin/bashĮcho “$(date “+%d.%m.%Y %T”) Exit, already running.”

Said in Are (encrypted) rsync backups not 'incremental' on how are you using rclone?
