What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Context: macOS 12.7.1 (Monterey)
The binary is crontably retrieved monthly using wget -P ~/Downloads/ https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip
Since upgrading from rclone 1.65.2 to 1.66.0 (rclone-v1.66.0-osx-amd64), backing up—very suddenly and utterly abruptly—no longer works.
To my greatest surprise, I've got the horrible “I/O errors”—somewhat the end of the world—all over the log file along with the very mysterious Failed to sync: optional feature not implemented
I immediately reverted back to version 1.65.2 and everything did work magically with not a single error at all. So, obviously, there is an alien in 1.66.0 that shouldn't be there, at the very least, for the grumpy I am, who needs to run an older macOS version on an older Intel-based machine.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
% rclone --version

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone -Lv --log-file=/tmp/rclone.log --filter-from /usr/local/etc/rclone/filter_mbp.txt sync ~ Safe:/MBP/ \
--backup-dir Safe:/OLD/MBP/$date

Apart from this, I'm very happy with rclone, and as always thank you very much for the hard work, dedication and passion put into this little utility. Good job.
