Versioning on protondrive

i am backing up to proton drive. it is working fine.
but i am trying to create versioning. i deleted a photo.jpg in the test folder on my computer before syncing to the previously backed up directory on the proton drive.
i expected the backed up version of photo.jpg on the proton drive to be moved into the back-up directory specified in the rclone command.
the command went ahead and created the backup directory but the deleted file did not get moved.
any suggestions of how to manage this.
thanks in advance.

rclone sync /mnt/server/photos/test proton:/server/photos/test --backup-dir="proton:/server/versions/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --delete-during -P

rclone v1.68.1-DEV

welcome to the forum,

that is an old version of custom compiled , unofficial version of rclone.
should update and test again,

  • rclone selfupdate
    or
  • uninstall that custom version and Install

for testing, pick a single file and rclone copy -vv --retries=1 and post the full output
