and what is that? Could you explain? I am not interested in guessing game:) this is something very different to what I asked you to test.
VeryImportantFile.txt
you have space in your folder name:
rclone lsf "D:\Test Folder"
OK.
run:
rclone sync d:\ "Backup:Computer Backup/Rclone/D Drive" -L --copy-links -v
and post what it shows
What does this command do ?
It does your "backup" syncing drive D: to the cloud - it has to finish then files will be also deleted.
You can see that it will take 3h - have you ever finished it?
Yes , so should i use this command in place of my command that I use
It is exactly the same command:) only option -v is added to show what is going on in more details.
If you say you finished it why it still has so much to copy?
Actually this is my new laptop that's why
So why when I asked you to run it earlier you showed me results after 1 min? When it looks like it was never done.
Ya actually it is showing it will take around 12h so I thought to give you the results now as becuase sending that much big result will not fit in screenshot. Also its around 9pm in India so I will turn off my computer. It will automatically run in background whenever it will start again tomorrow and then it will go on. After this I will show you the results. But the dialog box screenshot i wont be able to send you
Rclone Backup.vbs file -
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "D:\Softwares\Rclone\Rclone Sync D Drive.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
OK. I think all is clear now.
Files will be only deleted when all sync finishes. It only takes so long first time. Next syncs will be much faster as will be only checking what has changed.
ok I will inform you if they are deleted or not
Also some files are showing access denied. How to provide them will access ?
You can stop it at any time - and then start again. It will start where it stopped last time. But to have files deleted it has to finish:) Just leave it running all night... I have no idea how much data you have and how long it can take - maybe days.
When all done you will see that it works as it should.
Because it is not good idea to sync on Windows all drive - some files are not accessible for normal user. And there is no need for it.
It is much better to backup only what is important for example:
rclone sync d:\ "Backup:Computer Backup/Rclone/D Drive" -L --copy-links --include "/Softwares/**" --include "/Games/**" --include "/Photos/**"
so you specify explicitly which folders to sync. It is much better approach.
for drive C:\ only what you need is probably only Users folder. There is no point to sync other folders
