Backing up to OneDrive w/ Backup4All

[TheSTS]

I am trying to set up a nightly backup to OneDrive in Windows 8.1 while using a local account. Backup4All looks like a pretty good program but I can't work out how to configure it to backup to OneDrive.

Any ideas?

When you install and configure OneDrive on a PC, it will create a local folder that is kept synced to your account.

 

In my case, the folder is at "C:\OneDrive"

 

If you are using a backup program, all you need to do is point the "destination" to that folder (or perhaps a subfolder inside of it). I'm not familiar with that specific program, but it should be exactly the same as choosing any other "folder" as the destination.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I forgot to mention, I am using Windows 8.1. So OneDrive is integrated deeply into the OS, and using it without converting my local account to a Microsoft account is proving difficult. In short, I need an address to set as the destination for Backup4All, and I can't seem to use the method you mentioned with my local Windows account.

Odd. I'm using Windows 8.1 right this moment with a local account, and OneDrive. What difficulties are you having in this regard? Getting signed into your OneDrive Account without it converting your user account to a Microsoft Account?

 

Neeeevermind. I just remembered that I'm using the Windows 10 TP Derp.

 

I found this online. Maybe it will work for you?

Ah, I've already tried that

 

I can't even seem to get OneDrive running without a Microsoft account.

Well... I don't know what you could try then. I CAN confirm that Windows 10 (at least in the TP) can integrate OneDrive with a non-Microsoft user account.
