This article concerns a feature only available in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 5 and older. The option to backup to OneDrive was deprecated in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.
As an alternative, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6 has introduced an Object Storage option, allowing for backup directly to Object Storage (AWS S3, S3 Compatible, Google Cloud, and Azure Blob).
Challenge
Cause
Such behavior occurs in case there is a Microsoft account added in Settings > Accounts > Access work or school.
Solution
There are 2 options to use Microsoft OneDrive as a backup target when configuring a Veeam Agent backup job:
- Use the account that is already set in Settings > Accounts > Access work or school to store backups on Microsoft OneDrive.
- Disconnect the account that is set in Settings > Accounts > Access work or school. Veeam Agent allows to change accounts if the computer is disconnected from the account. Configure the Veeam Agent backup job, then re-connect the account.
