Is there a default log location? I forgot to specify --log-file

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I have run an rclone sync without explicitly logging - but I want to see what was deleted if possible. Are there any logs generated and saved by default? Where can I find them if they exist?

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

rclone v1.59.1

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 21H1 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19043.1826 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.18.5
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

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

None - local drive to local drive

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

rclone sync -i D:\_Projects F:\Personal\_ProjectsBackup\_Projects```

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

No config - was local to local

A log from the command with the -vv flag

I don't know how to do this retroactively

hello and welcome to the forum,

logs are not generated by default.

as per https://rclone.org/docs/#log-file-file
"Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default"

to find the differences between source and dest, might try
rclone check

might try --magic :wink:

Gotcha. In my case comparing the source to the dest probably won't help since I really should never have run a sync and instead just copied (ooopsie). Anyway, thanks for the help!

for ooopsie protection,

--dry-run

--backup-dir
