For near 20 years, i am backuping my photos onto my synology (ds10x, ds20x, and now ds21x).

The risk is to lose them all because of crash or during a migration from one disk/model to another disk/model.

I decided to use rclone (running on my synology) to backup this local storage to a remote storage.

Some useful commands:

rclone listremotes
rclone lsd ovhftp:/backup
rclone lsd ovhcrypt:
rclone config file
rclone copy /volume1/photo ovhcrypt: --progress

Restore would work as below:

OVH /backup (crypted files)


rclone (ovhcrypt:) → automatically decrypt


/volume1/photo (unencrypted restored files)

rclone copy ovhcrypt: /volume1/photo --progress
