| The use-case of this solution is very similar to [[:syncthing|Syncthing]], but the goal here is to utilize cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) to back up your data. The important difference is that this is **upload only**; it does not synchronize data both ways. It is for continously cloning a single machine's userdata to the cloud service, so in case of a hardware failure/loss, a backup of the userdata can be easily restored. | The use-case of this solution is very similar to [[:syncthing|Syncthing]], but the goal here is to utilize cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) to back up your data.

Because of the latter, it requires Batocera **v40** or higher. | This solution uses [[https://rclone.org/|rclone]], which is shipped with Batocera and [[launch_a_script#services|Batocera's services feature]].
