    Hi There!

    We work with Updraft & OneDrive and backup to OneDrive works fine. But we never haave done a recovery till yet. We read for a few problems with recovery backups from OneDrive with Updraft and so we want to check our settings.

    We saw that we can select at “Account Type” the option “OneDrive International” or “OneDrive Germany”.

    What does this mean and is this selection important for recovery?

    thnx for helping
    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for asking!

    Yes, it is important you choose the correct OneDrive type. If you have OneDrive English then use OneDrive International otherwise use the other option.

    Bryle, thnx for reply. We sitting here in Germany and using Office 365 for Business Clients. So I suppose that we had to flip to the option “OneDrive Germany”.

    Did this now mean that we can’t recover the whole backups which we did with the “OneDrive International” option in the past?

    Hi,

    It is just the same account right? If so, the backups should still be recognised by UpdraftPlus.

    @bcrodua Thnx. Yes it is the same OneDrive Account. But the option “OneDrive Germany” did not work. If we want to sign in with our Microsoft User, we get the message that the user is unknown…

    So Bryle one last question:
    What is the exact difference between this two options “OneDriver International” and “OneDrive Germany”? Is there a link from Updraft with further informations availiable?

    Hi Nico,

    You must have the OneDrive International version as you would not be able to connect with that type if you had OneDrive Germany.

    OneDrive Germany is a separate instance of OneDrive which complies with German data protection laws (e.g. all data in OneDrive Germany is stored in German data centers). Functionally, they work the same, except for different endpoints.

    Best Wishes,
    Bryle
