    FileHistory should be smart enough to "de-duplicate" OneDrive data


    Hi,It's been a while I've been facing the following problem.I have several computers at home, most used by multiple users, with KFM Known Folder Move enabled, so those users' data is 1 stored in their OneDrive storage area 2 partially mirrored on those computers' local storage -- this is "partial" due to the use of the "Files On Demand" feature to control how much space is actually used on the local drive.I don't consider OneDrive as "a backup", because lots of things can happen that would cause data to become lost or corrupted this includes "inadvertently modified" -- the OneDrive Recyc

    onedrive duplicating my folders...

    Hi.

    Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
    Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
    thousands of users have issues with it.

    Thanks

    Michel

    FileHistory should be smart enough to "de-duplicate" OneDrive data

    Apps Data Recovery from FileHistory and OneDrive

    About a month ago, my laptop Windows 10 crashed. I restored Windows 10 with my recovery drive.
    When I re-installed a Diarium app on the newly installed Windows 10, all my eight months of journal in the Diarium app disappeared.
    Before the crash I had synced my laptop with OneDrive and backed up my files in an external drive utilizing FileHistory.
    The developer of the Diarium app emailed me that I should be able to find the following Diarium database from the backups:
    %localappdata% \Packages\49297T.Partl.DailyDiary_jr9bq2af9farr\LocalState\diary.db
    Please advise me how to find and retrieve the Diarium database from FileHistory and OneDrive.
