What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Hello everyone,
So, I am trying to create a tar of a folder and then upload to GoogleDrive.
I have been trying to get it to work, but strangely the upload does not work (the 1.7 GB file is only 56 kB on server).
tar --warning=no-file-changed -zcvf homeassistant.tar.gz /home/piserver/homeassistant/ | rclone rcat GoogleDrive:/homeassistant_backup/data_$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S").tar.gz -vv
I am still rather new to Linux, so I hope someone can help me figure out what is wrong in my syntax and how to achieve the auto-deletion part?
Thank you all for your help
