backup vps to OneDrive

Browsing

With vps data, you can use snapshot feature to backup all vps data but usually this’s a paid feature. Some of server provider don’t event have this feature. So to backup VPS you can use Rclone and move data to some of cloud storage such as: Google Drive, One Drive, Mega, Zoho storage…

Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors’ web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.

Rclone helps you:

  • Backup (and encrypt) files to cloud storage
  • Restore (and decrypt) files from cloud storage
  • Mirror cloud data to other cloud services or locally
  • Migrate data to cloud, or between cloud storage vendors
  • Mount multiple, encrypted, cached or diverse cloud storage as a disk
  • Analyse and account for data held on cloud storage using lsfljsonsizencdu
  • Union file systems together to present multiple local and/or cloud file systems as one

To install Rclone on Linux/Mac/BSD you can use this command:

curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
