Best practice for multiple directories

Help and Support
1

I have been using rclone for a good while on my NAS to backup to plcoud
I have a simple question: what is the best practice:
Script with multiple directories or a single directory?

My script will have about 15 statements like this, so each directory is backed up.
rclone sync --delete-before --transfers=1 "/volume1/media/tv extra" "remote:media/tv extra"
rclone sync --delete-before --transfers=1 "/volume1/media/tv_sonarr_downloads" "remote:media/tv_sonarr_downloads"
rclone sync --delete-before --transfers=1 "/volume1/media/tv" "remote:media/tv"
15 more like this.....

Or just backup the media directory :slight_smile:
rclone sync --delete-before --transfers=1 "/volume1/media" "remote:media"

There are 1000's of files

Until you have millions of files in single directory either approach is fine. Whatever you prefer.
