rclone is amazing!
May I ask why you went from a wrapper around restic to rclone and not to restic? My understanding is that rclone doesn't make snapshots, does it?
I use restic (with rclone), which encrypts and handles snapshots automatically. It doesn't work with a pgp key, though, I use a password.
If you want backup, restic is the way to go. Rclone sends your files, it’s not a backup tool. I think it has some kind of versioning, not really a backup feature.
Which is why I ask, since the article is about backups :-)
If you use crypt backend of rclone, you don’t need end to end encryption of proton.
