Google Drive & RClone: Backing Up, Syncing & Copying
|
||||||
|
====================================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rclone supports several modes of syncing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- "sync"
|
||||||
|
- "copy"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What are the differences?
|
||||||
|
From rclone's website:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> "Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination
|
||||||
|
only. Doesn't transfer files that are identical on source and
|
||||||
|
destination, testing by size and modification time or
|
||||||
|
MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting
|
||||||
|
files if necessary (except duplicate objects, see below). If you
|
||||||
|
don't want to delete files from destination, use the copy command
|
||||||
|
instead." ([ref](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unless you want to perform deletion on the destination to match 100%
|
||||||
|
what's on the source, you will want to first look at the "copy"
|
||||||
|
operation.
