Windows 10: How can I prevent one drive backup during windows 11 installation?

WINDOWS 11 INSTALLATION WITH ONE DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY BACKING UP AND MOVING MY STORAGE FOLDERS IS VERY VERY VERY IRRITATING!That said: HOW can DISABLE THIS BEFORE THE INSTALLATION?I use a Different backup method. If I wanted to automatically have all my files dumped into another location to save them I will do it, but to haveit take over all all my files is a complete lack of choice.I HAVE OFFICE 365: IF I WANT TO BACK UP FILES LET ME DECIDE!! THIS CAUSED ME TO REFORMAT MY SYSTEM AND START OVER WITH A FRESH INSTALL OF WINDOWS 10. UNTIL THIS IS CHANGED I WON"T BE UPGRADING ANYTIME SOON.30 year W

Using network hard drive for backup

It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.
