To download/install rclone: $ cd $HOME $ curl | sudo bash. The following write-up describes an approach for using an open source package, rclone, to automate backups from Linux to Google drive. Using rclone with WSL2 gives me the option of restoring project files from a recent backup should I accidentally trash my WSL2 Linux distro. I’m a big fan of both Windows & Linux, and the evolution of WSL2 (with an actual Linux kernel) is making it easier to work in an almost “real” Linux environment without the need for third-party virtualization software. Using rclone on Linux to Automate Backups to Google DriveĪs of now, Google has yet to release an official backup/sync client for Linux, and as a frequent WSL2 user, I was after a solution that would allow automated backups to Google drive from the WSL2 Linux file system/distro.
