Backup
6 TopicsI don't know how OneDrive works (sync): delete a file, it deletes from everywhere (not backup)
Hello. Thank you all. I post this example because I don't know if I'm missing a step or I'm wrong about how OneDrive works and what for. If get synchronized with OneDrive for Photos folder (and its subfolders), it works good and photos from my cellphone are stored in device gallery and uploaded to OneDrive as expected. iF I delete one photo from my device, or to delete one photo in the Windows/PC, it deletes from OneDrive and all the Synchro Devices (as expected). How can I save my local files with a backup on OneDrive, deleting them from my PC or device folder and still have a "backup" stored in OneDrive? thank you again !3.8KViews0likes3CommentsUndoing unsuccessful Onedrive 'backup'
Hello, As far as I can tell, this has been asked but not satisfactorily answered. My workplace encourages us to use OneDrive, and I need to move to a new laptop soon, so I thought I should finally accede. After seeing my colleagues struggle with syncing, I was happy to see a 'backup' tool instead. I checked the box to back up my Documents folder, which was then about 110 GB. I received no warnings about syncing to the OneDrive folder on my local machine (which I already use for a couple of separate projects) or redirection of my Documents path. After a day of file transfers, I realised that my disk space was being eaten up by a copy of the Documents folder in the OneDrive folder. The size of that Documents folder was now 110 GB, while my original Documents folder was now 95 GB. There were important files missing, so I tried a couple of things (such as turning sync off/on), but the situation is still basically the same. I would like to unroll this mess, but I have no idea whether there is a single complete version of my files either in the original location, in the OneDrive folder or online (where the Details tab says the Documents folder is 52 GB). Please help! I just want to go back to knowing where my files are. Thanks, Rose1.9KViews0likes4CommentsThrottle copying our data
GoodDay community , We are supposed to switch over so that our users end up using OneDrive as their home drives and Copy a lot of large files to Azure Blob. We thought we had everything ready to copy during our testing but our network got so saturated due to the bandwidth consumed.We opened a ticket with MS premier support and our assigned PFE engineer to see how we could throttle Azure Blob and throttle down the copying speed to OneDrive. Microsoft said there was not a way to throttle and our google searches came out with nothing. We are looking for some software that is "reliable" but can throttle copying data to OneDrive and Azure blob. (Azure blob to give you an idea is sucking 80% of our internet connection (just one server). While budget can be an issue, we do not care at this point as long as we can get something reliable. We do not want something that does blackout hours as our operation cannot be interrupted at night. I am hoping we are not the first ones to run into this situation . Notice : my question posted on the other communities , and I still have no dependable answer ! Thanks2.3KViews3likes7CommentsIs there a way to tell who is using OneDrive for Business Backup
Hello! We have a client asking us - how do we confirm that all the users have OneDrive Backup enabled i.e this section: Yes, we have Endpoint Manager Policy enabeling "backup of known folders" - it shows it is deployed etc. but the client would like confirmation that users in the org have their files in these locations backed up to OneDrive. Any one know if such reporting exists at all? Thank you!Solved6.8KViews0likes2CommentsCannot Stop backup of folder due to errors
In OneDrive settings - Backup tab - Manage backup, I want to unselect or Stop backup of Documents, but this option is not available due to errors. Fixing the errors would involve moving lots of things out of Important Folders that I really don't want to mess with. I do want to exclude Documents from the OneDrive backup. Is there any other way to access this setting?551Views0likes0CommentsSS1: OneDrive integration with Edge
