RIRB - Reverse Incremental Rclone Backups
Apparently I love writing wrappers around rclone (syncrclone, lfsrclone, PyFiSync, amongst others).

Two-Way Sync Client Recommendations?
The reason I ask is the best answer I can give is use my tool. I actually wrote two tools to do bona fide two-way sync with rclone. The first, PyFiSync was really written for SSH+rsync two-way sync but I later added local to rclone. However, it was more complex than needed for that and not idea. (rsync can do really stupid-efficient diff transfers which rclone cannot so I used to go out of my way to track moves and modifications)

Looking for a script that uses rclone to backup google drive to another provider (preferably onedrive)
rirb: Mimics the prior tools but is faster since it stores the state locally and saves you having to walk it again most of the time. Vanilla rclone to restore

Backup software for Windows Server that backups files as files to B2, not packed into archives?
The problem is, it has to list both sides every time which can be slow. So I wrote the (beta) tool, rirb, to avoid that. It hasn’t been tested on Windows but should work or only need minor mods. It is beta though so take it with a grain of salt. But you don’t need anything special to restore. (Unless you use rclone crypt)

Rclone backup application?
I wrote a tool that mimics the above behavior with faster listings and some convenience things: rirb

Best way to do encrypted backups to cloud? I'd love to know what you are doing to encrypt and backup to the cloud.
I actually wrote a tool (rirb) that uses rclone but has its own logic to mimic

Automated site backups from headless server - Google Drive?
But I don't use them. Here is my logic for a tool I wrote (rirb) that mimics rclone but the sentiment holds:

What cloud backup/storage option is best for this purpose?
Rclone can be a good backup tool with the backup-dir flag and a crypt wrapper remote but it’s not a complete solution. In fact, I wrote my own tool, rirb, that mimics it but makes life easier. My justification for this approach:
-
What is your 3-2-1 backup solution?
Really important stuff (i.e. photos) have those plus are in OneDrive. Every night, I run rclone (well, actually, my own wrapper) to back that up to Hetzner. And it’s synced to my work computer which then also backs up.

New rclone-based backup tool I created, rirb: reverse incremental rclone backups, which may interest some in this community
Full point-in-time: It is theoreitcally possible (see proof of concept) but it's fragile. If this is your primary use case, check out other tools such as restic or kopia
