Windows 10: Automatic backup of OneDrive-folders to external HDD

I have my OneDrive-folders saved localy on my computer, but I also have an external HDD connected to my router for backups. Using the build-in backup feature in Windows I can't get it to actually backup the content in THE OneDrive-folders to the external HDD. Is there a way to automat this, so I can have my files both localy on my laptop, on OneDrive and on My external HDD?

Automatic backup

I'm trying to setup automatic backup. In windows 7 I have it setup but it doesn't backup everything in that folder it backs up only stuff that was edited which causes confusion. Is there any easier way to automatically backup everything in a single folder to my external hd

 

OneDrive - Bait and switch (but to what?)

Google Drive offers 17GB free, I see no discernible reason to bother with OneDrive's crippled storage capacity.

EDIT: For a painless transfer, I used microsoft's SyncToy to do a daily backup of DropBox/OneDrive items nightly at 4PM to a Google Drive folder. Once I had finished setting up my phone's automatic backup and had my work flow transferred, I just stopped the auto-backup script and uninstalled OneDrive/DropBox and carried on using Google Drive. Switching cloud storage service isn't remotely arduous.

 

OneDrive or External HDD for backup?

HDD enclosure is a great investment since it doesn't require a subscription fee (unless you use a paid backup plan). Personally, I use OneDrive for office (word, excel, etc) file storage and a 2tb NAS (considering an upgrade next year) for bigger files (such as FLACs and some video editing stuff). Of course, everyone has different needs, but it works well for me and I thought I'd throw my suggestion into the pool.
