Hi all,

I have some important files (not much atm, about 5GB) I want to upload to a (secure) online storage (cheap if possible).

I already have the data on my local machine (macbook pro) and an external harddrive, but I want an online storage solution as well.

I have used aws S3 before (for my work) so I have some knowledge. I could make a bucket to store the data.

Is there any interesting (free) software I can use (on a mac) to backup some folders to s3. I have mountainduck on my laptop but only in trial.

Another possible solution is to create a bash script to upload specific folders to s3 (not necessarily aws, could also be digitalocean) on an regular basis. I could possibly make a script with rclone, is this a good usecase for this?

I could add a cronjob (like every sunday at 01AM) but my laptop is probably in sleep mode at that time, how can I create a script that runs at sunday 01AM OR when I first start my laptop after that time?

Thanks!
