Choose 'n' to create a new remote

Name: neevcloud (Give the name of the remote)

Type of storage to configure: '4'; these values vary depending on the rclone version.

Choose your S3 compatible version to choose '34' for object storage, these numbers are very dependent on the rclone versions.

Get credentials from runtime (environment variables or metadata if no env vars). This only applies if access_key_id and secret_access_key are blank. Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false"). Choose a number from below, or type in your value

To copy and move your data

You can run it accordingly.

 rclone copy   /path/to/local/directory neevcloud:(bucket-name) --progress

 rclone move  /path/to/local/directory neevcloud:(bucket-name) --progress

Now, navigate to the Neevcloud bucket section and check the bucket.

Download or restore your server files from neevcloud to your local system.

Now create another to restore your files.

• Neevcloud Your rclone remote

• your-bucket-nameThe name of the bucket in Neevcloud.
