Curious if rclone eats up internet data when copying locally/server side. This new ISP server caps me out at 700gb a month, whereas my old ISP was unlimited (just terrible speeds). So I never really had to pay attention to it before.
Using the commands:
"rclone copy teamgdrive:folder gdrive2:folder" --drive-server-side-across-configs"
rclone copy gdrive:folder gdrive2:folder"
These commands shouldn't use any data, correct?
Nearly 100gb was taken up yesterday, the only thing I've ran were my daily commands, so that's why I'm curious.
I guess the part I'm confused on is if it is eating up data, how it's not eating up even more.
The regular rclone copy command, I'm using on 200+ gdrive accounts with 750gb daily cloned over to each account.
When you posted, the template actually helps us answer that question as we don't know what version you are running and there are no logs files to look at.
If you are server side copying, it uses no data.
If it is not server side copying, it would use data.
imagine your remote is a crypt on a team drive. any copy/move operation off of a crypt is going to use data (even from one crypt to another where they use the same keys). At least that has been my experience (and fundamentally makes sense due to the design of rclone)
now this might not be your case, but no one can tell, as have no idea what your config is. there could be other things in your config that also get in the way
@ncw Is it possible to make rclone check and see if the encryption keys are identical on i.e two crypt remotes, and do the transfer serverside (i.e that you can issue a command using cleartext paths, but rclone is smart enough to "translate back" to encrypted and move)?
to have two mounts, each a different encrypted remote, using same crypt settings
and then use a local file manger to move around the files - server-side.
Curious: Is that looking at the underlying remote for the crypt, then copying the underlying encrypted files? Have done this manually a few times, but this would be much cleaner.
hi @ncw , i am trying to test the beta flag --crypt-server-side-across-configs but my command fails.
here are three commands, the first and second work, the third does not.
the only difference between the second and the third, is the addition of --crypt-server-side-across-configs
thanks,
i see my confusion now,
for command 2, since source and dest are both crypt, the flag --drive-server-side-across-configs does nothing, so there is no 404 permission issue.
as per the log file, --crypt-server-side-across-configs works with rclone copy
this is almost worthy of being called --magic, almost
but --crypt-server-side-across-configs does not seem to work with rclone mount
i mounted both crypted remotes and copied a file between the remotes.
i could not found server side copy in the log files but the log file is full of
Server side copy only works with rclone copy and sync. Between two mounts or even inside one mount the OS doesn't tell rclone it is copying files, it just opens files and reads and writes data.
