Is there an opensource tool out there that a home user can use to back up their onedrive data from onedrive, directly to a local NAS? My laptop hard drive is too small to pull all my onedrive files down and so I cannot back them up from a local copy.
There seems to be options for Microsoft Business but not for Personal (home) users.
Can you select all and download a giant zip file? Itās going to zip everything before transfer so zip is the only option that Iāve found. Also note Iām working with an enterprise version so I may be way off the mark here.
the only thing I can think of Open Media Vault allows you to backup automatically to OneDrive!
if you have your local NAS mounted as a drive in your laptop, then you can copy anything from onedrive to the nas drive (do it in the background, I use Linux). I schedule rsync -a /mnt/onedrive/ /mnt/nas
Do the files transfer as a zip file, or just the regular file? Iām wondering if my IT department has it set for zip to improve bandwidth usage.
just as regular files. if /mnt/onedrive has 5 files, it will transfer 5 files to /mnt/nas It will do differential transfer so files that were not changed will not be transferred. I have a cron job and it rsync every hour from onedrive to my nas. rsync has -z flag (ācompress) for compression.
Take a look at rclone or Cyberduck
If your NAS happens to be a Synology, look at their Cloud Sync app
From a friend, āHi , you are overthinking thisš just write a script using the OneDrive API and let it run in a Cron job. Thereās bound to be Python examples. Just my 2 cents worth.ā
Busy travelling but will give this a go in the next week or so.
not really onedrive as an answer, but you should look into the likes of private cloud, i.e. syncthing, nextcloud.
i havenāt used any big tech names for syncing in sometime. Works well for me at least.
Are you using Linux or Windows in your laptop?
Can you see your onedrive as a mounted device or you just access it through its web interface?
Can you mount your local NAS to your laptop?
The open source tool Iād use is rclone
Hi, I use both windows and linux. I can see it on my system but I am wanting a copy on my NAS without haiving to download it first to my local network. I see my QNAP has a hybrid cloud tool. I will take a look in the next week to see if that does it for me.
