Daily Backup from Google Drive

Help and Support
1

Hi there,

I would like to have a daily backup of a Google Drive into a folder which contains the date as a filename.
Has someone a script which does that ? I am unfortunately not very experienced in shell scripting, since I
use Linux just as a Server for a database (which works nicely).
I would appreciate a script, where I can edit my target directory and then add it to crontab.
I believe, that other users would appreciate a step by step doc as well.

Thanks in advance for any help !
kind regards
Klaus

Somethig like this

rclone copy -v gdrive:/path/to/stuff /local/path/`date -I`/

should do it. The date -I expands to an ISO date 2018-01-13 which are convenient for this sort of thing as they sort correctly.
