Description

Rclone is a program written in go to allow local files to be saved to one of many cloud servers. It tries to emulate rsync.

Current cloud providers supported are:

   Amazon Drive
   Amazon S3
   Backblaze B2
   Box
   Ceph
   DigitalOcean Spaces
   Dreamhost
   Dropbox
   FTP
   Google Cloud Storage
   Google Drive
   HTTP
   Hubic
   Memset Memstore
   Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
   Microsoft OneDrive
   Minio
   Nextloud
   OVH
   Openstack Swift
   Oracle Cloud Storage
   Ownloud
   pCloud
   put.io
   QingStor
   Rackspace Cloud Files
   SFTP
   Wasabi
   WebDAV
   Yandex Disk
   The local filesystem

I have only tested it against Dropbox.

Installation

Rclone can be installed as follows: (https://rclone.org/install/)

curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
cd rclone-*-linux-amd64
sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone


Then you can the configuration process:

rclone config
and follow the instructions for a headless server

For Dropbox I had to run rclone on a desktop with a browser, giving permission for rclone to be allowed to connect to Dropbox and then copy and paste a key string across to the smeserver.

Useage

Here is the shell script that I developed and tested to see if it would work:

!/bin/sh

signal-event pre-backup

cd /

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-custom

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/home

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/ssh

rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/root

rclone copy -v / smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver --files-from backup-files-list-rclone

rclone copy -v "etc/e-smith/templates-custom/" "smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/"

rclone copy -v "etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/" "smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/"

rclone copy -v etc/ssh smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/ssh

rclone copy -v root smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/root

rclone copy -v home/e-smith/ smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/home/ --exclude "tmp/**"
