I set up --include-from to only backup my home directory’s main folders but rclone still includes a lot of hidden files on the backup. Can anybody help me set up include-from properly?
Thank you!

Thank you!
Can you paste the whole --include-from
file please? Because I don’t think it should be transferring anything as written…
You want it to be
/bin/**
/Documents/**
...
Thank you for your feedback! Now my file looks as follows and seems to be working correctly.
[orschiro@X230 bin]$ cat include-folders.txt
bin/**
Documents/**
Downloads/**
Music/**
Pictures/**
Templates/**
Videos/**
Great Note that you want the leading /
to anchor the match to the root of the transfer otherwise rcone will be looking for bin
directories anywhere in your filesystem.
Thanks! Updated my include file.
Now I just need a way to double check whether my system is truly and fully backed up to Google Drive…Hmm…
rclone check
is what you need for that!
Lovely! For now I am sorted, thank you.
