IM getting a whole slew of these errors. Mostly relating to the Onedrive folder. The eird thing is that i see backups being backed up to my external drive. is it just these folders that didnt backup correctly? How is this error fixed?
Microsoft OneDrive is a FAKE folder that acts as a gateway to their online âcloudâ storage scheme. There are many reasons not to use OneDrive, you have run into one of the biggest - they arenât your files any more, Microsoft holds them hostage.
No, and as @Don_Wright mentioned above, it is that they donât actually exist on the drive nowâŚthey will just be stubs or âmarkerâ files, and will basically download a cache of the file if/when it is opened â so until that point, it isnât really a file, more a shortcut for a fileâŚ
In my personal experience, I set the backup client to download all files (just be aware of disk usage!!) and then it will have an actual copy of the file/s that can then be backed up as usualâŚ
This does only need to be done on the UrBackup client, not on all devicesâŚjust be conscious about space usage; it is probably best to only have the âdownloadâ setting on the server/system being backed upâŚ
