    "Docker container to Backup mysql database and minio storage to Google drive using RCLONE and CRON every 30 mins."

    Sounds like a great way to get your Google account banned for a suspicious activity.

    I think it is great that you've found a cool use for rclone, but at the same time don't see how this hits front page when it is basically a cron for running `rclone copy` every 30 minutes which is highly prone to issues. You'd be much better off just mounting your remote storage and running another tool to keep things synced, or utilize Restic or something else for backups.

    How much storage do you get?
