      could be an option to set the redirection & configuration via GPO

        Getting files TO ODfB is relatively easy. Protecting them on there, is the pain. Totally doable, just a pain.

            I actually do something like that for my users but we are using Nextcloud instead.

              We are on Linux. So we "something similar", but between NextCloud instead of ODfB, and Fedora 28 Cinnamon instead of Windows 10... not all that similar 🙂

                So you plan to have a backup tool that will take a backup of the ODfB? In that case, seems reasonable.

                I was thinking of replacing the backup tool and just use ODFB

                  Do you create symbolic links for folders like Desktop and Documents and have them pointing to the same folders within Nextcloud folder?

                    I am curious to know about the protecting part, does it mean someone lost files from ODFB?

                      Well I have, for one 🙂

                      But I'm not saying ODfB is scary, just that it doesn't have traditional backups taken of it unless you use a third party product that does that. So think of it like NextCloud, you'd want to take backups of your NextCloud server, you'll want to take them of ODfB, too.

                        Maybe I should think of stopping the endpoint backup and think of having ODFB and then use something like Veeam backup for O365?

                            We do have our mail backup on Barracuda Mail archiver, so I need to find something specific to SharePoint & ODFB only

                                Surely this can be done through the API?

                                  Well I see what you're looking to do, OneDrive wasn't meant to be a redirect for desktop and mydocs.

                                  You might be able to find a backup solution that can be centrally manage and point backups for the end users to their individual onedrive folders.

                                  I'm not sure of any off hand that can do this for certain though. . UrBackup is pretty flexible, and it might work. . .

                                    Getting files TO ODfB is relatively easy. Protecting them on there, is the pain. Totally doable, just a pain.

                                    I am curious to know about the protecting part, does it mean someone lost files from ODFB?

                                    Well I have, for one 🙂

                                    But I'm not saying ODfB is scary, just that it doesn't have traditional backups taken of it unless you use a third party product that does that. So think of it like NextCloud, you'd want to take backups of your NextCloud server, you'll want to take them of ODfB, too.

                                    Odfb has version control now, as well as sever tiers of recycle bin and ransom ware protection. I'm not really sure what a 4th+ copy of Odfb data gives you.

                                    I'm sure there are cases for it, but not typically as with your own Nextcloud. There, is only one copy of data and no version control or geo redundancy.

                                      If you want to do real backups of Odfb, you need a good 3rd party software like Veeam Odfb backup or something like that.

                                        Well I see what you're looking to do, OneDrive wasn't meant to be a redirect for desktop and mydocs.

                                        Actually, OD is designed for it. Windows even tells you that you cannot undo moving your profile folders to the OD foler when you try to do it. But then yes, it keeps it synced on all devices, etc.

                                          NextCloud has version control. And as many copies and as much geo-redundancy as you desire.

                                            But it doesn't include this geo-redundancy with a build it yourself approach. (Usually)

                                            Sure eif you rented your servers around the globe it could.
