Weird. I got the sethgregory one working easily. Never could get the other one.

I'd like it as well. What have you tried? It would be nice if it were included. Edit: I've requested it on the Linuxserver forum here: https://forum.linuxserver.io/thread-440.html There is also a fork of the linuxserver docker with it included but I cannot get it to work for me: https://hub.docker.com/r/xeroxmalf/rutorrent-autodl-irssi/ I also found this one: https://hub.docker.com/r/sethgregory/docker-rutorrent-autodl/ I tried that one on Windows earlier and it works but I haven't tried it on UnRAID yet.

Any mounted path is supported. I believe that rclone does give you a mount point within /mnt/disks, but since I don't have any use for the plugin, I can't tell you much. But I wouldn't be surprised if you run into hardlink issues with it. Best thing would be to try and set it as a destination and see what happens. If you don't use the dated backup options, then every backup is only the changed files, so your sync will also only reflect the changed files. To exclude subfolders, manually type them in Ahh, good point. Yes, rclone does to mount points, I just never use them for anything other than browsing to make sure the data is there. I think last I checked it did not work so well and I just generally prefer to do them in-program then through mount point as it seems more reliable but I think that just might save me a big headache. I'll give that a go. As far as hardlinks go, I hope I won't have much issue. I think Plex is the only one that really uses them, maybe I'm wrong, and I'll probably just back up the databases and exclude all the other bloat that can easily be re-downloaded. But a followup question on that. I haven't used rsync much but I read the manpage for it. I just want to make sure I understand. If I use -H (as CA backup does) and my source directory has 2 files that are hard linked, and my destination is on the same filesystem, does rsync copy that file to the destination, preserve the hardlinks, and end up with 2 hardlinked files in the source and 2 identical hardlinked files in the destination, or are all 4 files hard linked? I'm assuming all 4 are hardlinked but I wanted to make sure. I'm sure I will lose hardlinks if I store in the cloud but I'm sure I can fix that on restore.

A couple questions: Would it be too much to request rclone support? I was going to just copy the logic and translate it for rclone but it looks more involved than I expected. Rclone is similar to rsync but works on cloud services and also has an encryption option. I thought about just initiating rclone to sync after rsync but that loses the "attempt faster sync" feature and will use a lot of bandwidth and time re-uploading files unnecessarily. I know there can be issues with integrating other plugins but I thought it was worth asking. Or maybe you can suggest an alternative way to do it with existing tools and features. I see you can exclude folders but is there any way to exclude subfolders? I'm asking because Plex is really bloated and takes up a lot of space. I really only need it to backup the database and not tons and tons of cached image files and such. Alternatively, I can just exclude Plex altogether and use a custom script to copy just the DB files but I'd rather not complicate things if not necessary.

Here is the daemon I wrote if interested: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=53365.msg515342#msg515342 There is also a github page for it but it's the same thing https://github.com/bobbintb/backup-bash There are two others as well: https://github.com/rhummelmose/rclonesyncservice https://github.com/resipsa2917/rcloned I've only used mine. It works well and I have not had any issues. It starts the sync whenever the OS detects a file system change and it will not run a sync until the first one completes. I think rclone will have a daemon built in eventually but it's pretty low priority since there are ways around it.

Is there a way to set this to compress as it backs up? Or is that not practical? I'm also wondering about the "run in place of" command. Does that refer to the custom start stop scripts? I'm trying to set it up to use rclone instead of rsync.

No experience with exclusions but somewhere in this thread a posted I daemon.

I've seen talk about it on the rclone forum. Amazon I take it? It seems to be a common issue.

I haven't run into the file name length issue but as a work around it might to possible to have another mount that goes deeper into the folder structure and then syncs. I'm assuming full path is the issue. How deep does your folder structure go?

Yeah, it's not a device. It's a mount. Not going to work with unassigned devices. What is it you are trying to do?

Well, that's probably why. I wouldn't do that, too many layers.

Are you trying to copy the files over SMB or something?

User scripts plugin.

I think you messed up your copy and paste. Same photo shown twice.

It seems like he will be adding the feature and it seems pretty trivial so I'm excited about that. I don't think it will take much to just paste it into the plugin page for unraid.

Yes and no. It would kind of be a pain for a number of reason like as you mentioned. There is no native, intuitive way to get the information that is available. It's just kind of a "we have to work with what we've got" sort of situation. Also, what we got is not sufficient. Rclone does not calculate the overall progress. It provides the progress of the current working file, but not of the entire job. One probably could calculate that by first capturing the dry run list of files, comparing it with what has been completed, and with the progress of the current file, but that is not accurate, as the ratio of completed files transferred to those left to transfer is not truly representative of percentage complete. Say I am transferring 100 files, 99 of which are 1 megabyte and 1 that is 20 gigabytes. If it transfers the small files first, well, it's transferred 99 out of 100 files so it would show 99% complete, which would not be even close to accurate. We would need to know the size of all the files to be transferred to calculate that. I'm not able to verify at the moment but if I recall, a dry run does not supply that information. I don't think rclone supplies the information for the user to calculate that themselves. I was just kind of hoping he would add a few more outputs to make the progress a little more transparent to the user so someone else could take on the rest but it seems he's willing to be a little more comprehensive that that. The big thing I am wanting at this point is just a progress bar of some sort on the plugin page of UnRAID. edit: come to think of it though, I suppose if the dry run has a list of the local files to be transferred but does not give size information, there really is no reason that can't be gleaned from the OS itself. Duh. But I don't know if that applies to remotes as well. If the job was syncing from a remote to local instead, that might pose a problem if rclone does not supply the file size information as there wouldn't really be any other way to obtain it.

A few things forth keeping an eye on: https://forum.rclone.org/t/best-mount-settings-for-streaming-plex/344/7 https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/921

I'm assuming you mean you are using the user script plugin and aborting that. If that doesn't work just kill the process.

Is the filename encrypted?

I don't have any issue just running the scripts. Don't kill the mount scrupt to run the unmount script; that makes no sense. My scripts run on array start and stop. The character limit is a limitation of Amazon. https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/219

It would be empty if you just created it and haven't mounted anything to it yet. If things got messed up with the mount you can either reboot or force kill the mount command. I'm pretty sure you don't need to reboot for the SMB to work. You may have to reboot SMB/stop and start the array but you might not even need to do that. If you want to kill the mount command that is stuck find the process id with ps aux | grep mount then just use the "kill" command followed by the process number. You may need to do a "kill -9". Run the first command again to see if it was stopped.

Is /mnt/disks empty even when rclone is mounted?

You can make an SMB share just fine from the /mnt/disks mount point. In unraid go to the settings tab then SMB and add the share under the Samba extras configuration. Here's my example: [Amazon] path = /mnt/disks/Amazon read only = yes guest ok = yes Of course that is a somewhat round about way of doing it, mounting a network share of a network share, but I didn't want to have to install rclone on another machine just to view the files. I'm only doing it for a visual reference . Also look at this: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45880.0

You can throttle rclone natively. It's one of the sync options. I mentioned it earlier, maybe in the other thread.

I'm kind of confused on what you are asking.
