 +**Credentials Advice:**

 +== 3 Install and Configure rclone == 
 +[[ https://rclone.org | RClone ]] is a swift client used as an example in this guide. Download and install rclone using the [[ https://rclone.org/install/ | Install Guide ]]. For this example, rclone binary was simply untared.\\ 
 + 
 +Configuration of rclone should be simplified as below 
 +<code> 
 +$ cat ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf  
 +[techstaff] 
 +type = swift 
 +env_auth = true 
 +auth_version = 3 
 + 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Save your Application Credentials that you downloaded in the previous step, and include them in your shell's environment before running rclone. In the below example, everything that I would like to save is already in a local directory path ''/home/chudler/backup_data'' . The remote location was named ''techstaff'' in the above configuration file. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +source ~/app-cred-swift-backup-openrc.sh 
 +./rclone --no-check-certificate sync /home/chudler/backup_data techstaff:backup_current --backup-dir techstaff:backup_$(date -I) 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +===Troubleshooting=== 
 + 
 +  * Rcode returns 404 after/during authentication. Change the application environment file ''OS_AUTH_URL'' variable, as below. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +export OS_AUTH_URL=https://overcloud.cs.uchicago.edu:13000/v3 
 +</code>
