Start at the top and work your way down.

The error is saying the directory isn't found so you are giving a path that does not exist.

rclone lsd gdrive:

and work your way down to figure out where the error is by adding on to the path.

Start walking down the path and see where the issue is.

Add the next directory level and keep going down.

5

sir now able to find how to fix this please give me some clue by that I can fix this.

6

You have variables up there that are most likely mapping to nothing / the wrong thing. You'd have to fix that or set them to the right path you have listed.

that doesn't exist in your rclone lsd output here:

thank you so much, sir now its working

8

rclone copy gdrive:basezap”$NODE”nodebackups/$SERVER_HOSTNAME/$DATE /root -P

i want to ask one more thing what is the role of this -P in this line

9

That is:

  -P, --progress                             Show progress during transfer

All the flags are here:

Global Flags (rclone.org)
