Note that you should use the `rclone cryptcheck` command to check the

|
integrity of a crypted remote instead of `rclone check` which can't
|
||||||
|
check the checksums properly.

## Backing up a crypted remote ##
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you wish to backup a crypted remote, it it recommended that you use
|
||||||
|
`rclone sync` on the encrypted files, and make sure the passwords are
|
||||||
|
the same in the new encrypted remote.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will have the following advantages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `rclone sync` will check the checksums while copying
|
||||||
|
* you can use `rclone check` between the encrypted remotes
|
||||||
|
* you don't decrypt and encrypt unecessarily
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, let's say you have your original remote at `remote:` with
|
||||||
|
the encrypted version at `eremote:` with path `remote:crypt`. You
|
||||||
|
would then set up the new remote `remote2:` and then the encrypted
|
||||||
|
version `eremote2:` with path `remote2:crypt` using the same passwords
|
||||||
|
as `eremote:`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To sync the two remotes you would do
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rclone sync remote:crypt remote2:crypt
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And to check the integrity you would do
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt
