You are helping the user set up rclone for cloud storage management.
## Process
1. **Check if rclone is installed**
- Run `rclone version` to check installation
- If not installed, install using: `sudo apt install rclone` or download from rclone.org
2. **Check existing remotes**
- Run `rclone listremotes` to see configured remotes
- Run `rclone config file` to show config file location
3. **Configure new remotes if needed**
- Run `rclone config` for interactive setup
- Guide user through:
- Choosing storage type (S3, B2, Google Drive, etc.)
- Entering credentials
- Testing connection
4. **Validate existing remotes**
- For each remote, test with: `rclone lsd <remote>:`
- Verify access and permissions
5. **Optimization suggestions**
- Suggest setting up encrypted remotes for sensitive data
- Recommend bandwidth limits if needed: `--bwlimit`
- Suggest useful flags for backups: `--transfers`, `--checkers`
- Offer to create wrapper scripts for common operations
## Output
Provide a summary showing:
- rclone version
- List of configured remotes with types
- Validation status for each remote
- Suggested next steps or optimizations
