Hi, I have a client who purchased Office 365 and wants to use his onedrive for backup. After skimming through threads about data screw ups and losses with it I was wondering if anybody could recommend a simple easy to use app that would do scheduled backups to it. Seems many want to use their own storage spaces.
Need a good backup program recommendation for OneDrive

AOMEI Backupper has schedule abilities and is free for personal and commercial use. I just wish it allowed for a full back-up every {x} minutes/hrs/days and incremental/diffential back-ups every {y} minutes/hrs/days. As it is, you need to run a full backup manually to reset the reference point for subsequent incremental/differentials and many novice users would feel intimidated by that. The paid Pro version lets you consolidate the incrementals/differentials but that's not automatic.

How much? What type of data? Unless the backup utility has a built in pruning function it will quickly fill up the space if they have a lot of data.
Another thing to think about. Onedrive stays mapped by default. So it's an easy target for Crypto types of ransomware

Some prefer carbonite as the cloud backup and a local backup drive. That way its backed up in two places. Last I heard the ransomware can not go into carbonite.

Everything @Markverhyden said AND you need to tell your client that OD is NOT a backup space - it's a file sharing application. You could, I suppose, just share out the OneDrive folder on a PC and then run backups to that folder. It's a really sh1t idea though.

EaseUS Todo Backup can backup directly to OneDrive. You don't need to install OneDrive on the machine... which means Crypto infections can't reach your data. Also works with DropBox and Google Drive.
It works really well as a cheap backup option if they already have 365.
