Description

Here is my post on the forum

I believe it would be really cool if one could perform backups to arweave using rclone. Arweave is one of those permaweb projects that in my opinion is pretty competent and actually works. There is an Arweave hackathon going on right now and I plan on participating in it using my own project DentropyCloud. It is my goal to use PGP and do backups to Arweave. When I told me friend about my hackathon plan he told me about rclone.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start with the linked Arweave deployment documentation and rclone's existing cloud-storage backend conventions; done would require a defined Arweave backup integration, but this issue does not specify its interface or acceptance tests.
