The rclone backend has two additional options:
* ``-o rclone.program`` specifies the path to rclone, the default value is just ``rclone``
* ``-o rclone.args`` allows setting the arguments passed to rclone, by default this is ``serve restic --stdio``
* ``-o rclone.args`` allows setting the arguments passed to rclone, by default this is ``serve restic --stdio --b2-hard-delete --drive-use-trash=false``
The reason why the two last parameters (``--b2-hard-delete`` and
``--drive-use-trash=false``) can be found in the corresponding GitHub `issue #1657`_.
In order to start rclone, restic will build a list of arguments by joining the
following lists (in this order): ``rclone.program``, ``rclone.args`` and as the

Manually setting ``rclone.program`` also allows running a remote instance of
