### Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time ###
You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose
different subdirectory for the output, eg
```
Server A> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
Server B> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB
```
If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy
otherwise the two rclones may delete each others files, eg
```
Server A> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
Server B> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
```
The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be
different in this case, otherwise some file systems (eg Drive) may
make duplicates.
