Exclude OneDrive folder

Thread needs solution

I get “Failed to back up file or folder” error message when doing a scheduled backup. If I click “Ignore All” the backup will continue to completion.

I don’t want to have to watch & fix every time I do a backup.

I tried to exclude the OneDrive folder, but the exclude feature didn’t work.

Dear Jerald Brown,
Thank you for reaching out and welcome to Acronis public Forums.
We have prioritized your case in our internal system and support engineers will contact you soon.

Same issue. I can't exclude the folders either, it acts like it will add them, but it never gets added to the list.

To exclude OneDrive folder, I think you have to use the full path name rather than that the "library". Try excluding

C:\users\{username}\AppData\Local\OneDrive.

The AppData is a hidden system folder, so make sure that in explorer settings include showing hidden and system files/folders.
