Key Insights

The author primarily uses OneDrive for personal cloud storage, while Mix-Space only provides backups to COS. To work around this, they suggest backing up the Mix-Space backup folder located at /data/mx-space/backup daily using RClone with OneDrive. The process involves installing and configuring RClone on Linux, macOS, or BSD, and setting up a scheduled task to run daily at noon. It's important to include a shebang line in the shell script and adjust it to match your shell, such as zsh, and to grant execution permissions to the script to ensure it runs automatically. References provided include guides on using RClone with OneDrive and setting up automated backups with cron.

Since the cloud drive I use most is OneDrive, and Mix-Space only supports backups to COS, I had to find another approach.

Mix-Space saves backups to /data/mx-space/backup every day, so I just need to schedule a daily backup of that folder.

Here's an example of using RClone with OneDrive to back up Mix-Space:

Install and configure

Install on Linux/macOS/BSD:

BASH

sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Create and configure OneDrive:

BASH

rclone config

Schedule it to run at noon every day

BASH

mkdir /root/sh
vi /root/sh/mix-space-bak.sh

Fill it with the following:

BASH

#!/usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/rclone sync /root/mix-space/core/data/mx-space/backup Onedrive-shiro:Shiroi_bak
# /root/mix-space/core/data/mx-space/backup 为本地文件夹，Onedrive-shiro:Shiroi_bak 为网盘中的路径。

BASH

chmod +x /root/sh/mix-space-bak.sh
crontab -e

BASH

#加上一行：
0 12 * * * /root/sh/mix-space-bak.sh

---

Warning

Make sure the shell script has a shebang line, and adjust that line to match your shell — this article uses zsh. After editing the shell script, you also need to grant it execute permission, or it won't run automatically due to permission issues.
