It enables making backups on the fly (without restarting the computer) using Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service. There are different plans: Free, Personal, Standalone, Site Backup and Technician. It provides many opportunities for backups of files/partitions and disk images. Again, as long as the local cache doesn’t exist on a partition being backed up, you’d be ok.Macrium Reflect is a powerful full-featured software for backups. One strategy that I’ve seen used here is backing up to a local disk or NAS device and THEN syncing to the cloud to retain an additional copy there as a contingency while still being able to restore quickly and easily under normal circumstances thanks to having backups local. In that case, you would have to make sure that this local cache folder did NOT exist on a partition that was being backed up, otherwise every time you ran an image job, that partition would end up storing the resulting image file of itself, which means the next image backup would contain all previous image backups.Īnother factor to consider with backing up to the cloud when the backup includes your C drive is that if you need to restore that backup, you would have to do so from Rescue Media, and I haven’t seen anyone connect to a cloud storage platform via Rescue Media, so you would have to use some other PC to copy that file down to a local drive or network location and restore from there. The reason I say “may” is that if you use scheduled jobs, the drive mapping would need to exist for the user and user context under which scheduled jobs run, which would take a bit of extra work.īut normally what I see is OneDrive existing as a folder on your hard drive that keeps itself synced with the cloud, but this also means that all of your cloud files are cached locally. I haven't seen any indication that OneDrive supports being mapped as a drive letter (the way Google Drive Stream does, for example), but if that’s possible, then you may be able to.
