Tarsnap is a no brainer. I am updating all my systems to use it.

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] rclone backup

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.

Hi Fernando,

Have you looked at Tarsnap? This remote backup service is directly supported 
within AstLinux.

Tarsnap Online Backup
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:tt_tarsnap_online_backup

The data "deduplication" works spectacularly well, along with it's tar-like 
command-line interface.

PS, Fernando I took a quick look at your scripts, you violate the AstLinux rule 
for not writing to the main image here:
--
ln -s /mnt/kd/.rclone/bin/rclone /usr/sbin/rclone
--

Why not just use "/mnt/kd/.rclone/bin/rclone" instead of creating a symlink ?
