Note that:

  1. It hasn't been tested at all
  2. There still no documentation for it

Creating this PR to ask for feedback on the initial sketch.

I like the concept here. I'll try to think more about another name for RCLONE_MULTIPATH.

Yeah, I also feel like there's a better word than "mulitpath" but can only think of "additive" and "incremental" so far. Both of those are not quite right either since they imply different things in the context of backups.

Any progress on this? I'd be willing to contribute if needed.

@cadenkriese I completely forgot about it. I haven't used this image in a long time, so I'm no longer that interested in finishing it now. Feel free to pick it up!

Restic supports rclone as a backend, so I'm not sure if it's necessary to add an rclone specific option.

Restic doesn't have support for compression yet, ideally I'd like a bunch of zip files in my cloud drive rather than restics repository format, so I still think there's a benefit to adding this.

They don't support compression? That's really odd and I agree that direct rclone support is needed then. A continuation or new PR will be great.
