Drive Backup from MAC Binary CLI

[toupeiro]

I recently downloaded the CLI binary of odrive for Mac OS and noticed a backup option. In testing, it appears I have a backup running to google drive, the Infinity ribbon is not pink, or blue, but black and I got a GUI popup that said the backup can be monitored from the system menu (Which I cannot find). I’m assuming that this feature isn’t fully implemented yet, but I am curious, is this the future of the One Way backup option or something of a differential/incremental style option?

Hi @toupeiro,
Yes this is version of backup that managed to sneak into the CLI. Here is some more information about it:

Backup (one-way sync)

Hi @ciro.pappada, Thanks for sharing. The backup feature you see in the CLI a very, early-stage preview of backup. It kind of snuck into the CLI way back when we first released the odrive Agent. We didn’t remove it because there isn’t really any chance of “misusing” it and the fact that it is in the CLI lends itself to only being seen/used by more advanced users. Backup is a much simpler data flow, compared to sync, since all of the data flows in a single direction and there are no deletes/mov…
