I'm definitely a Rclone fan, it's an invaluable tool if less technical folks give you lots of data in a consumer / business cloud, and you need to somehow put that data onto a server to do further processing.

It's also great for direct cloud-to-cloud transfers if you have lots of data and a crappy home connection. Put clone on a server with good networking, run it under tmux, and your computer doesn't even have be on for the thing to run.

tmux isn't strictly necessary:

    nohup /usr/bin/rclone ... &>/dev/null &
then log out and it'll keep running.


That way doesn't let you check on your progress, right? Screen / Tmux let you re-attach to the session at any time and see what's going on, if there were errors etc.


> That way doesn't let you check on your progress, right

It does if you redirect the output to a file other than /dev/null, but in my experience checking on the progress is irrelevant - it's done when it's done.
