How to backup to Google Drive, S3 etc using rclone

Hi,

Im new to Netgear Community, in response to these two closed community posts:

• Developer Request: Full Cloud Sync Access via iClone & incond
• Backing up to your ReadyNAS

I can confirm that rclone can (easily) be installed on ReadyNAS and successfully synced with Google Drive.

While I havent deployed an official ReadyNAS developer app, and at this stage dont intend to, the setup took me under 10 minutes and can easily be replicated. Tested on ReadyNAS 104 firmware 6.6.1.

Installation

SSH onto the ReadyNAS

Follow the rclone installation quickstart with the following changes:

1. Substitute the AMD64 precompiled binary for ARM32, ie:

   curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-arm.zip

2. Dont worry about copying the man file. As of version 6.6.1, ReadyNAS Linux doesn't come with man installed. Also, rclone --help is really thorough.

Usage

Follow the rclone for Google Drive doc.

If you want to make it a supported Google APIs app, check this part of the rclone docs.
