Back Up Computer To OneDrive

OneDrive has a feature that allows you to back up your computer's local Desktop, Documents and Pictures folders. 

This will help to mitigate file loss in the unlikely event of a computer crash. 

Here are the steps to enable this feature:

If you haven't yet connected OneDrive to your computer, the easiest way to do so is to visit portal.office.com, sign in with your email account, click the OneDrive icon (Cloud icon) and click the sync button at the top.

If you are syncing OneDrive for the first time it will ask to backup the Desktop, Documents and Pictures. Be sure that each box is checked and click Start backup. Follow the rest of the promtps and you folders will start backing up to your OneDrive. 

If you already have OneDrive syncing to your computer please click the system processes arrow (little up arrow by the clock) and right click the OneDrive icon. Then click settings.

Then click the Backup tab and select manage backup.

Be sure these folders are selected and click Start backup.
