OneDrive

OneDrive uses a one-time Microsoft sign-in - there are no keys to create.

1. Set up the storage

Nothing to prepare in advance. You only need your Microsoft account.

2. Connect it in Nyx Backup

  1. New backup set > destination OneDrive.
  2. Choose Sign in with Microsoft and approve access.
  3. Save the set.

Nyx Backup stores only the access token, never your Microsoft password.

Once Test connection succeeds, set a schedule and retention, save the set, and choose Run now. Nyx Backup encrypts everything on your machine before upload, so this destination only ever holds encrypted blobs. Give each machine its own bucket or folder - see Connecting storage.

Tip: a personal and a work/school OneDrive are separate accounts - sign in with the one that holds the space you want to use.
