backing up to Google drive with rclone

Backing up from a server to google drive using rclone directly on the server, using screen so that I don't have to be logged in  for the entire multi-hour process - 1 GB takes around 2 hours. So it will take another couple of days for the process to be completed.

Commands were like

rclone copy srcDirectory gdrivearchivercloneremotename:"backupDir/destDirectory"

and so on. 

Example output:

Transferred:        7.493G / 7.493 GBytes, 100%, 396.555 kBytes/s, ETA 0s
Transferred:        46441 / 46441, 100%
Elapsed time:   5h30m20.6s
