![]() ![]() I have used image backups since the early 2000's, which has saved me untold headaches of re-configuring machines that had been damaged in some way. But with 10 GB in use on this computer, backup images going back far enough to give me a clean system are out of the question. I have not been hit with ransomware attack (and hopefully, never will be) so I don't know how useful versioning will be and have heard stores, both good (lost just a day or two of data) and bad (versions were also encrypted). After years of making backup images but never needing them, i decided I could make better use of my time and storage space. If the computer is non-functional, I have everything I need online - it's not an image, so restoring will not necessarily be easy, but decided long ago that i prefer a clean install to a fast restore from an image - there is a lot of crap on the computer I don't need. I have needed to pull the custom toolbars out of iDrive but the only times I need to restore versions is when i do something stupid. I use dropbox, onedrive personal, onedrive business (all of which have versioning - i might lose new data, but won't lose everything) and iDrive to backup folders for things I can't store in the synced folders (some templates that are frequently locked if used from onedrive, signatures, customized ribbons in office etc). Flow might be able to copy onedrive files to another data storage service - but flow is limited in how often and how many times it runs, so its not going to work well if you save everything to onedrive. You could use flow to save new appointments and contacts in another mailbox. has an option to export to a pst (and export calendar & contacts to files) - but it cannot be automated. I'm not opposed to having a NAS application back up accounts, but my preference is a completely offsite backup solution like UpSafe. I have looked at a couple NAS applications that can be installed to backup O365 accounts, but not accounts. I should also mention that I do have a Synology NAS, which I store image backups on, but not data. I have no plans to 'upgrade' my domain to O365. UpSafe works with my accounts, which makes it stand out from all of the other backup services I've been able to find that only work with O365 accounts. This works for emails only, and does not backup contacts/calendar/onedrive.įor clarity: I have a custom domain, and my accounts are grandfathered (free), which means they are not regular Office 365 accounts (paid). The second thing I tried is setting my primary account to 'forward email' to the second, newly created account. Two other things I have tried: adding my primary account to another account I created, so they sync, which works fine except for one deal killing problem - delete an email in the second account also deletes it in the primary account (a sync, not a backup). Have you used another service similar to UpSafe that you can share here? So far, Upsafe is the best solution I've found, aside from not having enough storage for my onedrive (a wish list item, not a requirement). I have had to cancel jobs and restart them, which isn't reassuring as far as reliability is concerned. I have found that if you tell it to do something, a job will get stuck in the task manager indefinitely. 15GB is not enough to backup my primary OneDrive, but for mail/cal/contacts, it does work. I am aware of and have been testing UpSafe, which gave me 15GB of free storage for mail, onedrive, calendar, and contacts. Some method or technique that is reliable at maintaining a daily backup or second copy. ![]() I need to find a reliable solution for backing up accounts to cloud storage without using desktop software to backup to local storage or NAS.
