About rclone
Rsync: Time Machine-style backup using rsync. Very fast and reliable, the destination contains just regular files which can be easily accessed. The nethserver-backup. I’m in the US, which means my buckets are stored in either California or Arizona. I’m using BackBlaze B2 for personal backup measured in tens of gig. It takes me months to reach the threshold before BackBlaze charges me. The OVH fire has me thinking I’d be much more comfortable paying BackBlaze double and putting a copy in the Netherlands.
- GoodSync can automatically synchronize and back up all your photos, music, email, and other important files between all your desktops, laptops, servers, external drives, and now can sync or backup to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage for off-site storage.
- The Backblaze Personal Backup client was started in January of 2007 as a ‘C’ and C source tree that compiled on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux (originally CentOS but later when we standardized on Debian for the server side we now compile the client on Debian).
Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. Itis a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storageinterfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products supportrclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storageservices, as well as standard transfer protocols.
Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp,mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntaxincludes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It isused at the command line, in scripts or via its API.
Users call rclone 'The Swiss army knife of cloud storage', and'Technology indistinguishable from magic'.
Rclone really looks after your data. It preserves timestamps andverifies checksums at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth;intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, fromthe last good file transferred. You cancheck the integrity of your files. Wherepossible, rclone employs server-side transfers to minimise localbandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another withoutusing local disk.
Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to applyencryption,caching,compressionchunking andjoining.
Rclone mounts any local, cloud orvirtual filesystem as a disk on Windows,macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these overSFTP,HTTP,WebDAV,FTP andDLNA.
Rclone is mature, open source software originally inspired by rsyncand written in Go. The friendly supportcommunity are familiar with varied use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian,Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos. include rclone. For the latestversion downloading from rclone.org is recommended.
Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third partydevelopers create innovative backup, restore, GUI and businessprocess solutions using the rclone command line or API.
Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.
