🚀 Added Immediate Backup Feature

We are excited to introduce the Immediate Backup feature to the rclone-copy-cron Docker image! 🎉

With this update, you can now run a backup immediately if the BACKUP_CRON environment variable is not set. This provides more flexibility for use cases that require on-demand backups without the need for scheduling.

What's New?

• Immediate Backup Mode:

  • If BACKUP_CRON is not set, the container will:
    1. Start the backup process immediately.
    2. Copy files from the source to the destination using Rclone.
    3. Exit after the backup completes.

• Improved Logging:

  • Clear logs for immediate backup runs, including start and completion status.

How to Use?

To run an immediate backup, simply omit the BACKUP_CRON environment variable in your Docker command:

docker run --rm \
  -e RCLONE_SOURCE=source:my-source-bucket \
  -e RCLONE_DESTINATION=backup:my-destination-bucket \
  -e RCLONE_OPTIONS="--progress --checksum" \
  dharmeshmp/rclone-copy-cron

This feature is perfect for one-time backup scenarios or testing your backup setup before scheduling.

Enhancements:

• Dual-Mode Support: Use scheduled backups (BACKUP_CRON) or immediate backups without changing the container image.
• Simplified usage for non-recurring backup needs.

We hope this new feature makes your backup management even more seamless and efficient. 🚀
