Backing up local drives to google drive

Usage:

sudo bash backup_rclone --name=[Volume NAME, not location]

Assumptions:

1. rclone v1.51 or higher is installed
2. The local drive is mounted under /volumes/<NAME> where <NAME> is supplied at the command line via the --name option
3. The name of the target remote is <NAME>encrypted, where <NAME> is the name of the mounted directory supplied at the command line
4. The rclone.conf file has been copied into this directory

Data cleanup:

rclone will complain about dangling links and will not fully sync (i.e. delete any files) for that reason To convert dangling links to empty files do:

for i in `find -L . -type l`; do rm ${i}; touch ${i}; done

crontab:

sudo crontab -e
