    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

    Is it possible to set up automatic backups of specific folders to OneDrive WITHOUT synching them?

    I'd like to use OneDrive as a backup drive...but I do NOT want it to re-copy everything in its own folder on my local hard drive.

    (a) Is that possible to have OneDrive automatically do it?

    (b) If not, is it possible to set up a batch file (or some-such) to do it whenever I want to update the files on OneDrive?

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to backup a Onedrive folder automatically

    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.
