Cloud Storage for Funeral Homes — Protect Family Records with RcloneView
Keep arrangement contracts, tribute photos, and memorial videos safely backed up in more than one place.
A funeral home holds records families expect to exist for decades: signed contracts, obituaries, preneed paperwork, photo slideshows, and recorded services that can reach several gigabytes. These often sit on one office PC or a single cloud account. RcloneView gives a small staff a visual way to copy that data to a second and third location without scripting.
Manage & Sync All Clouds in One Place
RcloneView is a cross-platform GUI for rclone. Compare folders, transfer or sync files, and automate multi-cloud workflows with a clean, visual interface.
- One-click jobs: Copy · Sync · Compare
- Schedulers & history for reliable automation

Free core features. Plus automations available.
Why One Copy Is Not Enough
Consider a home with 15 years of case folders on a shared drive plus a Dropbox account for family-submitted photos. A failed disk, an accidental deletion, or a compromised login affects every case at once. A sound pattern is a primary copy, an offsite cloud copy, and an independent second cloud or local drive.
RcloneView connects 90+ providers, including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, and local or external disks. Pairing a business drive with an object storage bucket keeps the backup in a different account and provider from the original.
Build a Repeatable Backup Job
Create a Sync or Copy job from the 4-step wizard: source is the case-records folder, destination is the backup remote. Use Copy if you never want a deletion at the source to propagate. Run a Dry Run first to see what will be copied or removed.
With a PLUS license, the final wizard step adds crontab-style scheduling, so a nightly job can run after the office closes. Job History records each run's status, size, and file count, which is useful evidence that backups happen.
Protect Sensitive Records
Family and financial details deserve encryption. Create a Crypt virtual remote on top of the backup destination and RcloneView encrypts file names, folder names, and contents before they leave the machine. Keep the crypt password somewhere separate from the office computer; without it the data cannot be decrypted.
Use Folder Compare periodically to confirm the backup matches the source. Left-only files show anything that has not yet been copied, and different-size files flag partial uploads.
Getting Started
- Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
- Add your primary storage and a backup destination with New Remote.
- Wrap the destination in a Crypt remote for sensitive case files.
- Create a Copy job, Dry Run it, then schedule it (PLUS) or run it after each service.
Records that outlive their creators deserve a backup plan that outlives any single account.
