Which Protocol to Use for Backups to Remote Windows Box
Content:
I have a remote Windows box which is always online with a lot of storage and I look into how to upload my linux based laptop's backups there. Brief research shows that I can either use Windows share to make the Windows box accessible for rclone or start rclone serve * on Windows side to serve any of a number of protocols.
​
Which way do you recommend performance and stability wise? Any suggestions?

Rclone AutoStart for all users on Server 2022
Content:
Okay much like the title says, having issues getting Rclone to auto start on a Windows Server 2022 machine. First time I'm using the application, but honestly documentation seems pretty on point.
Using PowerShell the actual code works and will start up just fine if I run it through PowerShell itself or right click the script and tell it to run, problem is when we try to use Task Scheduler it doesn't seem to run or starts and then closes Rclone. Went as far as also trying to make a service through PowerShell to AutoStart it, same issue. Event Viewer and Task Scheduler both show the startup task as completing successfully, but nothing happens.
​
We do have EnableLinkedConnection setup on the machine itself, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. As for the PowerShell code itself it's;

Start-process -filepath "D:\Program Files\rclone\rclone.exe" -ArgumentList "mount laru-storage:\laru-application-storage d:\laru-storage --network-mode --vfs-cache-mode minimal --no-modtime --dir-cache-time 1m -noconsole" -WindowStyle Hidden

For the task scheduler itself we're using the following for setup;
Program/Script

powershell.exe

Added Arguments

File "D:\Program Files\rclone\RcloneStartup.ps1" -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Start in

D:\Program Files\rclone

From everything I've read this should work, less I'm missing something which is always a possibility. So turning to the grand hive mind to see if someone else can catch what I'm missing here. I will also note I wanted to just add a drive, but we tried it both ways at this point and neither option worked.

Rclone + crypt + B2 just broken
Content:
I’m just going to have to wait until they get it fixed. Too many multi part uploads fail. 6 hour backup ran with only 11 completed files. Geez what a mess. I have too much data with rclone crypt to even try to move. Keep up the good work. Love rclone just worried I will have to go back to early versions to get things running again.

Backing up live photos
Content:
Hi, I’m trying to backup live photos from google photos that consist of 2 files (.heic and .mov)
Using this command
rclone copy -v --stats=10s iman:media/by-day/2023/2023-12-12 /home/iman/photos/
But it’s only saving the still photos (.heic) and none of the video segments (.mov)
Is there a specific method/command to save both files?

One thing is sure, if we would win EuroMillions we would not buy a car or other similar shit! We would start the biggest legal actions against YouTube / Google / Facebook / Meta and Apple! Fuck if such brands are one worst than the other ... near all their crimes to devs / other people etc.

Python Rclone CLI Download Tool
Content:
Hello guys,
I created a python CLI tool for rclone to download files from remotes with search functionality. I made this because I was tired of going through the process of lsf through my remotes before finding a file, then typing out the entire path to it.
You can find my project here: https://github.com/Desperationis/rcli
Here's a quick demo:
https://i.redd.it/c0q3v1ezxxdc1.gif
Please leave some feedback so I could improve on this project, it taught me a lot. Hope it's as useful to you as it is to me!

Store tokens external to rclone.conf
Content:
I have joined the "manage your dotfiles with git" (well, yadm) cult. I would like to place rclone.conf under git control. However I am concerned that, because rclone uses the config file to store ephemeral tokens there is a possibility that rclone (specifically rclone mount) will try to update the file at the same time I am doing a git pull leading to BAD THINGS(tm) happening.
It would be reassuring if the ephemeral tokens could be placed in a separate file from the static configuration.
The best I can come up with is to configure rclone via environment variables https://rclone.org/docs/#environment-variables so that rclone.conf only needs to contain the ephemeral tokens and can be left unmanaged.
Is there a better way? Am I being too paranoid?

What is the sad point of our planet? People don't appreciate AND don't understand how much work there is behind! No matter if watching a picture, an art painting, a project, a song, etc. They don't see the work behind at all and they forget things pretty fast too!

SSD übertakten: Praxistest veranschaulicht, wie wenig sinnvoll das ist
Content: MediaSowohl der Prozessor (Controller) als auch der NAND-Speicher auf einer SSD lassen sich prinzipiell übertakten. Anhand einer SATA-SSD hat der YouTuber Gabriel Ferraz die Probe aufs Exempel gemacht. Die Leistungssteigerungen stehen aber in keinem guten Verhältnis zum Stromverbrauch und letztlich droht sogar ein Totalausfall.

Newbie Question with Mounting and Copying
Content:
Hi all,
I’m a rclone newbie who’s very excited to have found this tool! My use case is I am in the process moving my video teams’ assets from our Dropbox to a new on-premise DAM.
I’ve run rclone and done a basic mount where I mounted our Dropbox as a local drive. This mirrored our footage library and I am able to copy the assets to the DAM (hooray!) However, the read/write speed on the copies is all over the place. It jumps from 2mb/s to 100 (which is normal for our network and machines) and hovers in the low end.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to ensure faster read/write speeds? TIA!

Dropbox -> iCloud
Content:
Hey, apologies if "not really on topic" type of post. But i'm desperate to find some tool/software to move all my data from Dropbox account to iCloud. Gave into the fact that iCloud is more convenient for apple users, but i have like 700GB of data - "my whole life" and a manual transfering won't be an option since disk space of my laptop won't be nearly as sufficient (even bit by bit). If i'm not mistaken iCloud also has limited daily upload limit or something, so that's another thing i'd have to consider when looking for the tool. If someone could point me to the right direction as i've been looking around web forever..
