If you using OneDrive as a backup, it is not designed for that. You need to use the service that are specialized for backups which BackBlaze is the right product for it. OneDrive is mainly a online storage/vault with syncing capabilities. If you have a thousands of file to backup to OneDrive, you will have a problem since OneDrive need to upload everything that you want to backup to. Imagine 500,000 files that OneDrive have to upload for the backup, that will take a while. Their upload speed is not that great which is why they are not designed for backup.
- karmakaze 5y agoMy specific case is keeping a cloud copy of my audio media, in the order of 30 to 80 GB and most files do not change with metadata in auxiliary files. I started the initial upload and went to bed--it may have taken a few hours. Either sync or backup would be fine as long as unchanged files are not transferred. Automatic or manually (or scheduled) tasks are fine too.
