As far as I know, I can not directly edit the .conf file (which is also encrypted, I would decrypt, make the change and re-encrypt) and add the additional path (Rclone_backups) directly, as I will have problems with the encryption keys, right? Or can I edit directly? What is the best way to make this change?
You can use rclone config to edit the config file - it is a little long winded but it can edit all the parts of the config file. Or you can decrypt it (using rclone config again), edit in a text editor and re-encrypt (with rclone config).
Assuming you’ve used the same encryption key for all the directories then you should be able to shuffle the data about without re-encrypting it.
rclone sync local_folder Dropbox:Rclone_backups\remote_folder1
and
rclone sync local_folder Dropbox_encrypted:remote_folder2 (remains with the same syntax)
P.S.: Off-topic: I don’t know why some parts of my posts get red … I don’t know the Markdown syntax of this option …
I think your post is being interpreted as code of some kind, and you didn’t close the " after access_token so it is colouring everything as if it was a quoted string.
I managed to do it easily, by creating a new “copied” session in conf file, with a new encrypted storage.
[Dropbox]
type = dropbox
...
[Dropbox_encrypted]
type = crypt
remote = Dropbox:backup_encrypted
...
[Dropbox_encrypted_new]
type = crypt
remote = Dropbox:Rclone_backups\backup_encrypted
...
I’m moving (rclone move) my backup folders to this new one, one at a time, and gradually changing my backup jobs parameters.
This way, I don’t need to stop my backups until all folders are moved. Some backups are made to the old one and others - increasiling - to the new storage.
