What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am trying to create an PowerShell-Script. I want to exclude some folders/files which I added to a txt-file (exclude.txt)
$RECYCLE.BIN/
System Volume Information/
Config.Msi/
RECYCLER/
The command for execution contains several variables that provide content. If I write the filter options directly in the command to be executed, it works as desired. If I include the filter options via a variable, they are not recognised (see below).
Perhaps someone has a tip on how I can include the filter options via a variable in PowerShell. I would be very grateful.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.66.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22631.3447 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
SSH/SFTP -> Debian
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
This works:
$backupPath='backup:"Eigene Dateien"'
$folderToBackup='H:\'
$additionalSettings='"'
&$rclone sync $sourcePath $outputPath --progress --exclude-from "h:/programme/rclone/exclude.txt"
This does not work (error see below):
$backupPath='backup:"Eigene Dateien"'
$folderToBackup='H:\'
$additionalSettings='--exclude-from "h:/programme/rclone/exclude.txt"'
&$rclone sync $sourcePath $outputPath --progress $additionalSettings
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
