Rclone Backup script

Setup

• Clone this repo to your homedir
• Install rclone from apt
• Config Rclone
• cp sync_list.sh backup.sh
• cp exlude_files.txt.sample exclude_files.txt
• Open backup.sh in your editor and configure a few things
  • RCLONE_REMOTE= should be set to the name for your rclone remote you created aboce
  • BWLIMIT= This changes your bandwidth limiters for different times if you want them configured
  • the sync <DIR> ${RCLONE_REMOTE}:<FOLDER> lines before the unlock line are where you configure what you want backed up, and which folders it goes into in gdrive
    • This is relative to the root_folder_id above if you set it, or your base google drive directory otherwise
• cron setup (optional)
  • fix the file permissons on cron.allow sudo chmod 644 /etc/cron.allow
  • add yourself to cron.allow echo `whoami` | sudo tee /etc/cron.allow
  • crontab -e add this script to your cron jobs on a schedule you'd like

Restore Process

• cp sync_list.sh restore.sh
  • Set it up the same way as backup.sh above, just swap the order of the sync items
  • ``sync ${RCLONE_REMOTE}: <LOCAL_DIR>

You can call backup.sh with no flags to back up silently, or with the -v flag to see verbose output of the backup jobs
