Checksum is in use but the source and destination have no hashes in common

[faxotherapy]

Hi,

I've got the following NOTICE when syncing:

--checksum is in use but the source and destination have no hashes in common; falling back to --size-only

What is this and what should I do to have their hashes match?

I read this similar question, but why “the other side” (I guess, my VPS) would not accept a checksum. Don't really understand the issue anyway.

My command:

rclone -cv --log-file=/tmp/rclone.log --filter-from /usr/local/etc/rclone/filter_mbp.txt sync ~ Safe:/MBP/ \
           --backup-dir Safe:/OLD/MBP/$date

Thanks for your help.

The message is telling you that you've specified 'checksum' but hashes aren't available to compare thus its informing you that it will instead use the equivalent of size-only. You should remove the -c on these remotes.

I'm guessing 'safe:' is a crypt remote? or another remote that doesn't support hashes.

Yes, I use Safe for crypt mode. Thank you.
