What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have 5 million file backed up to B2. I'd like to restore a dozen of them from a past version (before they were deleted). The process with using + **/name/** filter takes ages.
My filter is the following:
+ **/ota2azlubtml8rzv/**
+ **/5l3bcc0nt3fikrcs/**
+ **/w6ftdpeqf8ttio5m/**
+ **/eznv22kuwoj3ib9f/**
+ **/xrsnx1xs820ddjlt/**
+ **/0jvwq4qhnldibbrj/**
+ **/sprorcgni8wc8eo4/**
+ **/p1otvqn5k5yboxsw/**
+ **/3uzx17e2yn6dacim/**
+ **/jk8o7pxyzxxm2qpg/**
+ **/w70r7azdxhjcu931/**
+ **/pry4yr1oshvhvzco/**
+ **/lbv0nwaolwrrsydj/**
+ **/q11ovgacxawzcp4m/**
+ **/iaslf1sptxihqs9s/**
+ **/pcf6ec84vgka0vcm/**
+ **/garrannfnzhmtchm/**
- **
And here is the key: the files are in prefixed folders like
media/images/g/ar/garrannfnzhmtchm/1344_1008.jpg
I mean, with a normal file manager I can just go into g / ar / gar..., it's super quick. But I cannot get previous versions with a normal file manager.
I guess rclone is trying to list all 5 million files to find those selected. Extremely slow, and also I guess it's using a lot of B2 requests (costing money).
Is there any way to make it quick with rclone?
