Acronis 2020 vs. One Drive files on demand

Thread needs solution

About 4 days ago Acronis started messing up with my One Drive files on demand. Randomly, outside of any scheduled backup plan, it touches One Drive files, which are stored remotely. This causes unwanted download of these files.
I remember having this issue with  Acronis True Image 2016, which made me upgrade to 2020 version a while ago. Looks like issue is back.

Is there any hint, why it even should touch these files? Also all the backup plans do have One Drive folder in ignore list.

Welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but I am not aware of any issue with ATI 2020 'touching' any OneDrive files and have not seen any reports of such behaviour in the forums nor seen this on any of my own systems.

Acronis does not follow reparse points used by OneDrive when Files on Demand is enabled and as you noted, normally excludes OneDrive folders by default to avoid other known issues in trying to backup OneDrive content.
