I think is backup Astlinux is the goal then tarsnap is a far better approach. rclone is a general purpose copy utility much like rsync with support for an awful lot of protocols some proprietary to specific cloud vendors. So there is a use case for it.
But I don't think it belongs in Astlinux. While it works perfectly well it is a huge binary (relative to the norm for Astlinux). I had experimented with it to backup some content of my NAS to off site cloud storage and thought it would be cool to have astlinux act as the copying agent with rclone. But in the end I decided that was not the place for it. David On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 10:25 AM Lonnie Abelbeck <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com> wrote: > Hi Fernando, > > Have you looked at Tarsnap?
