Hey everyone! I've recently transitioned my Plex server to a Linux Ubuntu setup using Portainer and Docker. In my previous Windows environment, I maintained a workflow where my files were synced from my MEGA account to a local directory, which then synced to my NAS storage. This system allowed me to easily manage my library even when I wasn't at home.
Now, I'm trying to replicate this on my Linux server, but every time I attempt to use rsync or similar tools, my entire library folder gets wiped out. I'm looking for advice on how to establish a similar workflow: MEGA to a local folder, and then moving those files to my NAS library folder. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recommend giving rclone a shot. It sounds like the deletion issue you’re facing might be due to incorrect flags or syncing an empty directory. Make sure to check the settings you're using to avoid that problem.
Check out the resources page from the community wiki for helpful tips! Also, there are some great searches on this topic that might provide the insights you need. Just a heads-up from Smokey: always back up your data, experiment in a virtual machine first, and know your commands before executing them!
That makes sense! Just to clarify, if my source directory is empty, will rclone also clear out the destination directory?
