How to remove or move from cache remote?

Help and Support
1

Hello. Long time ago i created a rclone setup with a cache remote (https://rclone.org/cache/) and inside the cache i created a crypt remote so i have cloud remote -> cache -> crypt.

After reading about the cache backend and the other VFS-cache i have some questions,

  1. Can i disable the cache backend somehow? (i.e. i want to test VFS instead)
  2. Can i somehow move the crypt remote directly to cloud remote and then remove the cache?

Thanks!

If you share your rclone.conf (without keys/passwords), it should be pretty simple.

You can point directly from the Cloud Remote -> Crypt Remote and just remove the cache all together.

I have a cache remote for testing although i don't use it at all.

So in my case, I have my main Google Drive remote "GD" and a folder in there called media so my crypt remote points to GD:media and that's all my encrypted stuff.

[felix@gemini ~]$ rclone lsd GD:
          -1 2019-07-09 13:14:42        -1 gemini
          -1 2017-06-09 09:59:43        -1 media
          -1 2019-07-09 15:28:42        -1 testing

and if I check the encrypted stuff.

[felix@gemini ~]$ rclone lsd GD:media
          -1 2017-04-18 16:14:26        -1 smu5ej34ujbdoip1cm3mlk92q4
          -1 2018-06-17 10:24:02        -1 tnvepu36qiohcun8v84ddhsam0
[felix@gemini ~]$ rclone lsd gcrypt:
          -1 2018-06-17 10:24:02        -1 Movies
          -1 2017-04-18 16:14:26        -1 TV

Thanks for the reply, here is my config.

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = blank
client_secret = blank
scope = drive
root_folder_id =
service_account_file =
token = {"access_token": blank

[cache1]
type = cache
remote = gdrive:cache1
plex_url =
plex_username =
plex_password =
chunk_size = 5M
info_age = 6h
chunk_total_size = 20G

[gcrypt1]
type = crypt
remote = cache1:gcrypt1
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = blank
password2 = blank

Could i simpy move the folder "gcrypt1" on my drive outside "cache1" and then remove the [cache1] entry from the config?

Edit like this,
[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = blank
client_secret = blank
scope = drive
root_folder_id =
service_account_file =
token = {"access_token": blank

[gcrypt1]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive:gcrypt1
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = blank
password2 = blank

Yep, that's correct. You can either remove it all from the config or if you want to test a bit and see, just make a new remote and test 'em both out.

Thanks! That was simpler than i expected.
