How to backup OneDrive for Business to a local drive? - Williams Welsh - 07-10-2025
Backing up OneDrive for Business to a local drive isn’t directly supported by Microsoft, but there are some reliable ways to do it. If you're managing multiple user accounts or need scheduled backups, using a third-party tool is the most efficient and effective. For example, I’ve used Migrate Cloud Data’s Microsoft OneDrive Backup Tool, which allows you to download OneDrive data locally in a structured format.
Here's how it typically works:
- You log in using your OneDrive credentials.
- Select the folders or items you want to back up.
- Choose your local destination folder (on your computer or external drive).
- You can also apply filters (like date range or file type) to download only specific data.
- The tool keeps the original folder structure and metadata (like created date, modified date, etc.).
