Rclone Snapshot Sync

Rclone is an open-source tool for syncing data between a wide range of remote tarets.

This addon allows you to sync backup snapshots to a different device using rclone

Configuring a drive

Before you can set up your destionation, you'll need to configure a "drive" in rsync. This can be done by embedding values in the destination field in your config (eg. destination: ":ftp,host=<myhost>,user=<myuser>,pass=<mypass>:/path/on/server", or via the web UI accessible once the plugin is running.

An important note on passwords...

Rclone expects passwords to be obscured. When you provide your password in either method (inline in destination or through the web UI), you must provide an obscured password.

To obscure your password, you'll need to install rclone on one of your computers and then follow the instructions in the rclone documentation
