What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have a filter file, where I want to INCLUDE, for example, /appdata/radarr/backups/, but EXCLUDE every other file and subdirectory in /appdata/radarr/.
My understanding after reading this thread was that filter files are read from top down, so I set up my filter file like below but /appdata/radarr/backups/ is still excluded (see log).
# Exclude general folders
- /data/**
- /domains/**
- /isos/**
- /system/**
- /appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/**
- /appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media/**
- /appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/**
- /appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/**
- /appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Crash Reports/**
- /appdata/other/**
- /appdata/jackett/**
- /appdata/QDirStat/**
# Include specific backup folders
+ /appdata/radarr/backups/**
- /appdata/radarr/**
+ /appdata/sonarr/backups/**
- /appdata/sonarr/**
+ /appdata/lidarr/backups/**
- /appdata/lidarr/**
# Exclude specific hidden and temporary files
- *fuse_hidden*
- *_HIDDEN
- .recycle**
- .Recycle.Bin/**
- *.backup~*
- *.partial~*
