I've followed a few online guides on how to use rclone to backup a local folder to google drive. This works however subsequent backups instead of overwriting the destination directory on gdrive it instead creates another backup with the same folder name.
rclone sync --verbose ~/Backup/ gdrive:backup
which if ran 3 times results in:
gdrive:
/backup
/backup
/backup
Not really sure where i'm going wrong, none of the guides mention this. I've tried using the rclone copy cmd with the same results.
Thanks again for the reply. I was using --verbose, wasn't particularity enlightening tbh, just looked like a fresh sync was being done each time, no mention of an existing directory on gdrive.
Anyway I started trying a few things and decided to try syncing to a destination directory another level deep rather than at the gdrive root, so instead of /backup on gdrive as the destination I tried /backup/rclone and guess what, it now works as expected and no duplicate directories are created!
Looks like this could be a rclone bug? Anyway fingers crossed it's now sorted and thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
