Here you can see many options including upload to Microsoft OneDrive.

Once that's selected choose Configure.

In order for our web site to talk to Microsoft OneDrive we need to authenticate it.

Click on the authentication button and a popup will open.

and you may be asked to login.

Now, click on the complete authentication button.

The directory that we want to store it in is by default the root of our Microsoft Onedrive account but we can store it anywhere we want including a subdirectory.

As you can see a token has been automatically entered.

Once you have configured Microsoft OneDrive Save and Close your configuration and you are now ready to perform your first backup with the files being saved in Microsoft OneDrive.

Once the backup has completed we can go to our Manage Backups and here we can see the backup just took place it is a Remote Backup and it is stored remotely.

From this link we are able to bring the backup back from Microsoft OneDrive directly on to our web server.

or our desktop.

Now every time a backup is performed by Akeeba Backup Professional the backup file itself is being stored remotely in our Microsoft OneDrive account.
