Can I use bidirectionally?

[Achinot]

Hi

Is there a way to use Rclone for local bidirectional sync? I want to mirror two local folders to eachother, just wondering if this is possible with Rclone?
thanks

rclone bisync

I am getting errors

rclone bisync -i j:\clone_A q:\clone_B

2025/01/21 15:46:05 NOTICE: bisync is EXPERIMENTAL. Don't use in production!
2025/01/21 15:46:05 ERROR : Bisync critical error: cannot find prior Path1 or Path2 listings, likely due to critical error on prior run
2025/01/21 15:46:05 ERROR : Bisync aborted. Must run --resync to recover.

I have this in the rclone.conf

[local]
type = local
copy_links = true
links = false

ok, a bit confusing, as there are two pages of documentation for bisync.
https://rclone.org/bisync

the first time you run bisync, need to use --resync

Thanks I guess that was it. Is there by chance to run this command in some kid of daemon mode? I am not sure if Rclone supports such feature.

i use task scheduler. has a nice gui, can run commands during system startup.
