About support of OneDrive for Business

OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files. It lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere on all your devices. OneDrive used by an organization is OneDrive for Business.

Arctera System Recovery now supports Microsoft OneDrive for Business as a primary destination for backups and you can restore recovery points from a OneDrive sync location. The Microsoft OneDrive for Business must be configured on a machine locally.

OneDrive for Business does not support backup and restore of recovery points from a Arctera System Recovery Disk, physical to virtual conversion, file and folder backup.

To configure OneDrive for Business locally, use the following link:

When you specify a OneDrive for Business location as the primary destination for backups, the recovery points larger than 9180 MB are automatically split into smaller files of 9180 MB. You can reduce the size of the recovery points to less than 9180 MB. Recovery points greater than 9180 MB are not synced by OneDrive to the cloud.

If a volume being backed up has an existing OneDrive folder or has OneDrive configured in it, System Recovery backups are not supported on such volumes.
