This is amazing work! I’ll donate again <3
So what’s the safest (and optimal) way to copy all the encrypted files of a remote to another?
Is it safe to copy directly the encrypted files or should I do it from the crypt remote? (both crypt remotes have same encryption)
Also as I understand, using --immutable and --checksum will ensure that the files will be copied 100% properly?

:smile:

The best way is to copy the encrypted files. This saves decrrypting and reencrypting and means you can use rclone rcheck .

You don’t need to use those options, just do the copy, then do an rclone check at the end to ensure that everything is ok.

I do it with --checksum because if a file didn’t transfer correctly I just run the command again and it finds which is it and replaces it.
If I don’t use the flag and after the copy is finished the check command finds some differences, how do I know which files didn’t copy correctly?

7

rclone will do that with or without --checksum, without it checks size & modtime and then checksum if modtime is identical, with it checks size & checksum.

check will print which files don’t match. You might have to use -v I can’t remember.

Onedrive for Business works in Windows, but in Linux there is no option for it in the config, and if i copy the config from windows it doesnt work…

It definitely works on lnux - that is where I test it. Are you sure you’ve got the right version of rclone installed? Check with rclone version
