I got 'rclone mount..’ working to mount GDrive as a local mount. A 1GB test backup took 2h:41m (109kb/s), so not a great result. The server running SD/FD/DIR is on a 1Gbe connection to a 300/50 FTTP line so Google seems to be the bandwidth limiter here.
However I did not find a Bacula directive ‘MaximumConcurrentUploads’.
