Windows 10: How do I backup not move my Music and Videos libraries to OneDrive?

I am running Windows 11, 22H2 OS Build 22621.1105 on an HP Pavilion laptop mfr in Dec 2021 with 11th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-1165G7 Hz and 16.0 GB RAM. The OneDrive Build is 23.002.0102.0004 64-bit When I first set up the laptop in Dec 2021, my desire had been to backup all of my Libraries to OneDrive so that I would have a copy of the files on my hard drive as well as a copy in the cloud, and that files would be synced automatically when changes are made to either location.

NAS server for backup and music/videos

Looking for a nas server something like the wd cloud 3-4 tb mabye the my could mirror for music videos and backup of pictures,setting of my games and wmp play list (have alot of them) when i read about the old wd my book live i see it's only 10mbps and even if they say in the review it's fast i can't imagine i could use it for playing videos,film on my pc,phone or tv, because i think there would be a delay from when i press play and a video starts playing, also max speed is 10mbps, is that enought for hd/full hd videos and losless music?

Problem with onedrive libraries

Hi Mike,

To restore the shell folder locations to default, open OneDrive and do the following:

Important: Before proceeding, copy the files in those special folders to another folder or external drive. Please don’t copy them anywhere under Desktop/Documents/Pictures. This is because disabling OneDrive backup for a folder erases the local copies of the files. Copying them to a different location beforehand will ensure that you don’t need to download them again from the OneDrive cloud.

1. Right-click the OneDrive icon in the Notification area and click Settings.
   
2. Select the Backup tab, and click Manage Backup
   
3. In the Manage folder backup dialog, click on the Stop backup link under the special folder (Desktop, Documents, or Pictures)
   
4. Click Stop backup in the confirmation dialog that appears.
   
5. Repeat the step for each shell folder you want to revert to the original location.

Libraries are placed in onedrive folder instead of local folder - Microsoft Community

In that case, it'll need to be done manually.

To do so:

1. Include the OneDrive Music and Videos folders to the corresponding Music and Videos library.
2. Set these included folders as your default save location for the library.
