Use of rclone with an Alfresco server

JMA — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:48:06 GMT

Dear Alfresco experts

I am a user of an Alfresco server where we store our documentation. I wish to set up a backup script using rclone from a Windows 10 client, but this utility does not seem able to use the Alfresco login/password authentication method, with Webdav.

Has anyone any experience using rclone on a Windows machine with Alfresco ?

Thank you in advance

To backup user data on client computer without SSO it seams to be enough to mount network disk to webdav and save user credentials.

p.s. more common practice is to backup Alfresco on server side by your system administrator.

thank you federow, I guess it is a general solution, but not with rclone, I have not managed to make it work, even after mounting the Alfresco server as a Windows drive. I think I will try with other utilities. Thank you anyway
