Is there a way of gracefully aborting a job?

Help and Support

Dear all

It would he helpful to me, and others I imagine, if there were a way - or if we were to know a way - of telling a running rclone command that one is going to abort it. At present, I just hit ctrl-C - but is there anything that I (or my backup script, which can catch the ctrl-C) can and should do after that point? I don’t want to damage my precious, but sometimes interminable, backups.

ctrl-C is fine - rclone will pick up where it left off when you retry it.
