RCLONE to Wasabi Cloud

This is a quick guide for setting up rclone on a *nix server to perform incremental backups to the Wasabi cloud service.

What is RCLONE?

rclone is a script (written in GO) that can copy or synchronize data between a remote device and a cloud storage location.

What is Wasabi Cloud?

Wasabi is a low-cost cloud storage solution that models itself after the Amazon S3 storage solution.

Why would you use RCLONE and Wasabi Cloud

With 1TB of storage costing $5.99 per month, Wasabi provides a relatively inexpensive storage solution for offsite backups. In our case we have nightly backups stored locally and copied to Wasabi for our 7-day rotation.
