Cloud Sync restore strategy

[moelassus]

I've successfully tested an encrypted Cloud Sync backup to Blackblaze. I don't expect to have a need to restore individual file but in the event I do, how do I do that? I'm encrypting files and file names so that makes a restore pretty challenging unless I'm doing the whole thing. Doing that from command line appears to be possible if not a little daunting.

I've downloaded Rclone Browser but its appears to be looking for the rclone.conf file. Where does FreeNAS store this file?

Thanks!

Were you able to figure this out?

Not really. I could not find where FreeNAS stores the rclone.conf file.

When you run a sync task, go to the cli and type :
ps ax | grep rclone

It will show something like this:
/usr/local/bin/rclone --config /tmp/tmpo26e5aoa -v --stats
that file /tmp/tmpo26e5aoa is what freenas is using as config file

Thank you! With this information, I was able to successfully configure Rclone Browser to browse and selectively restore files from my backup.

Good stuff, please share your howto here so that other members may benefit !

I was nervous about using the GUI when there wasn't a browser built in. This is why I learned how to set up rclone manually, which wasn't that hard. I'm backing up 700+GB to B2 via an encrypted back end. I can probably post a little howto if anyone is interested.

sharing knowledge is always welcome here I think
