Doppelte Dateien mit OneDrive?
Ich möchte gewissen Dateien auf meinem PC in OneDrive als Backup sichern. Bis auf Dokumente, Bilder und Desktop kann man ja kein automatisches Backup einrichten. Alle anderen Ordner muss ich manuell in OneDrive reinziehen, wo sie dann automatisch hochgeladen werden.
Meine Frage: Die Dateien sind dann immer doppelt vorhanden. Im regulären Laufwerk und im OneDrive Ordner. Kann man das irgendwie eleganter Lösen, sodass ich nicht den doppelten Speicherverbraucht habe?
Well, there’s a local folder “OneDrive” on your PC. It is similar in the background to the folder in the cloud.
If you want to create a backup and OneDrive is set up correctly, you only need to secure the local folder.
Yes the files in the local folder are then double. In the local folder and in the OneDrive folder. Simply secure the local folder without dragging it into the OneDrive folder is not possible for me to know.
I don’t understand your statement. Why “local folder” and “OneDrive folder”?
What I want to say is that the local folder named OneDrive is on your PC, so it also needs the corresponding storage space, but the external folder is in the cloud and thus does not consume any storage space on your PC. The lokate and the cloud folder synchronize in the background.
Actually, you don’t even need to secure the local folder – a mirror image of it is in the cloud.
However, if anything happens to the content of the local folder (solutions or something) it will also happen in the cloud folder.
So it’s not stupid to secure the local folder.
I use a small backup program for this. When I was still Windows user, I used Personal Backup (kost’ nix).
Ohso 🙂 If you move the local folder into the OneDrive folder on your hard drive, it is only in the OneDrive folder on your disk. (CHUCKLES) Then it is synchronized with the cloud, but iummer is still present locally. So on your PC only once – in the cloud again.
So all you want to secure in the cloud (in this case probably in OneDrive), you should move the OneDrive folder.
Of course, you can also use a backup program, define all folders you want to backup and specify as target OneDrive (Cloud). I think Microsoft even offers that.
But making backup of a hard drive on the same hard drive is not sensible anyway.
If you really want to go to number what seems to be the case, get an external hard drive (does not be the fastest) and drive a backup of your data (including the OneDrive folder on your hard drive) to the external disk and close it somewhere else.
I have a NAS on which three folders exist. The three I secure once a week, or at least every two weeks on an external hard drive stored in the cellar in the vault. Once I captured a ransomware on the NAS that cost me 500 EUR to decrypt the data, I became a Bissi paranoid.
I would like to have a cloud backup for some folders on my PC. I would like to achieve this without having to save the backup again on my PC (local OneDrive folder)
I am talking about having a local folder, for example on (D:) which I want to secure in the cloud. This folder was already present in front of OneDrive but if I drag it into the local OneDrive folder in (C:), it is secured in two locations on my PC. Or do I get something wrong?
There are various reasons why there are so many double files on OneDrive.
So it happens when you upload files. 4DDiG Duplicate Deleter can delete duplicate onedrive files.
