+            See the remote's specific options under rclone's docs at
+            <link xlink:href="https://rclone.org/docs/"/>. When specifying
+            option names, use the "config" name specified in the docs.

+            remote, use <literal>hard_delete = true</literal> in the
+            attribute set.
+            Warning: Secrets set in here will be world-readable in the Nix
+            store! Consider using the <literal>rcloneConfigFile</literal>
+            option instead to specify secret values separately. Note that
