[Request] Option to sync /saves/ to external source.

[Levistras]

Would be great if you could sync the saves folder externally (via ftp or samba) to a defined location so I could pick up either of my Mini+'s and have my saves and switcher the same.

Right now I can do this manually by having both online and connecting to them from PC but would be great if I could have the device check at startup or shutdown, or even if manually triggered, to grab latest or save latest versions to an external location. A small version of cloud saves!

Note, we're already working on a CloudSync solution here: #820
It's planned for 4.3

Brilliant! Thanks!

Hello
It's a wonderful news !
but I've got a question
It seems you will add only backupfolder with rclone, am I right ?
For exemple JELOS use two system and I think they are complementary
1/ to backup folder (like saves) to a server with rclone (really useful for backup sometimes)
2/ provide syncthink buit-in server (really usefull to synchronise folder in real time with other device) https://syncthing.net/
https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/blob/main/documentation/SETUP_SYNCTHING.md#syncthing-is-not-a-backup

I think it can be great if both system can be include (rclone and syncthink)

Thanks, I'm already using both that and SyncThing on my MMP's. Lately my issue has been getting Wifi to connect so I can use either... they're the only devices that have any issues in my house.

I wonder whether this becomes official. Would be nice. #820 seems closed.
