How to keep a permanent copy of all files from Onedrive remote?

[charger]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want RClone to mount an external OneDrive remote downloading all its files (~900GB) to my local disk on Linux. In case I loose my remote, I want it to be a backup copy.

I am new to RClone, after reading the OneDrive remote documentation, overview, FAQ and a bit of research in the Forum, I did not find a clear explanation of how to do that.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone version
rclone v1.59.1

• os/version: debian 11.5 (64 bit)
• os/kernel: 5.10.0-18-amd64 (x86_64)
• os/type: linux
• os/arch: amd64
• go/version: go1.18.5
• go/linking: static
• go/tags: none

Are you on the latest version of rclone? No, there is a new patch version.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

OneDrive.

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone --vfs-cache-mode full mount "onedrive":  /hd/OneDrive

This makes be able to access the files but after I turn off the PC, my local /hd/OneDrive folder is empty. I want to have the local folder as a copy in case I loose my remote for some reason. Is it possible with RClone?

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[onedrive]
type = onedrive
token = {"access_token":"..."}
drive_id = someid
drive_type = personal

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Irrelevant.

You'd probably want to use rclone copy or sync.

rclone copy onedrive: /hd/OneDrive
or
rclone sync onedrive: /hd/OneDrive

Sync will mirror onedrive to the local destination and keep up with any deletes or changes.

Test each with --dry-run and see if that does what you want before.

rclone copy

rclone sync

Read up on the differences to see what makes the most sense for you.

A mount requires the remote to be there as it's just mounting the remote as local storage so if the remote goes away so does anything on the mount.
