Can rclone be configured to do a large file transfer until a specified monthly data transfer limit is reached, then pause until the start of the next moth and continue transferring until the limit is again reached. I want to transfer a large amount of data from local storage to cloud storage, but my sip has a set maximum data transfer maximum each month. I'm looking for a tool that would allow me to set a maximum monthly data transfer cap, then haver cloud start/stop transfers automatically, staying below the cap until the entire drive is copied. --bwlimit seems to apply only to data transfer rates and not data amount per time unit
--bwlimit is probably the easiest way.
Say your cap is 100G per month. You need to work out how many MB/s that is for the --bwlimit parameter.
>>> 100E9/30.4/24/60/60
38072.61208576998
>>> 38072.61208576998/1024
37.180285240009745
>>>
So in that case you could use --bwlimit 37k - this means that if rclone used 37kBytes/s for the whole month, it would transfer 100GByte of data.
You could then leave it running continuously.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try!
