Rclone (Entware-NG) issues configuring and syncing

[Marko Polo]

So finally what was the working solution? What have you chosen in the end?

I have run with the cool solution in this thread for automating backups using rclone upon filesystem change. In my case I have my scanner send scans to network share. Router picks up change on file system and then effects an rsync copy to OneDrive.

Does anyone see any issues (especially safety issues in terms of CPU usage or anything else) with this script I put together:

/jffs/scripts/backup-scans

#!/bin/bash

log_dir="/mnt/-/backup-scans-log.txt"
config_dir="/mnt/-/rclone_config"
backup_dir="/mnt/-/shares/Scanned Documents/"
server_backup_dir="OneDrive:/Scanned Documents/"

function backup () {
        rclone --config /mnt/-/rclone_config copy "$backup_dir" "$server_backup_dir" 2>&1 >>"$log_dir"
}

while true
do
        inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,close_write,move,create,delete  --format '%T %:e %f' --timefmt '%c' "$backup_dir"  2>&1 >>"$log_dir" && backup
done

Is it safe to have such a while / do loop? Should I place a sleep (5) or equivalent in case the inotifywait doesn't work properly?

The backup script that I have based this on:

backup-bash/backup at master · bobbintb/backup-bash

Real time file syncing daemon using rclone and inotify written in Bash - bobbintb/backup-bash

github.com

includes the line:

trap 'kill -HUP 0' EXIT

I left this out. Not sure if it is needed?

To launch this script I have added the line:

admin@RT-AX86U-4168:/jffs/scripts# cat post-mount

#!/bin/sh
swapon /tmp/mnt/-/myswap.swp # Added by amtm
. /jffs/addons/diversion/mount-entware.div # Added by amtm
/jffs/scripts/spdmerlin startup "$@" & # spdMerlin
