Greetings,

I've just started using OneDrive for not only my general backups (Desktop, Docs, etc.), but for a couple of other folders by using MKLINK to create a junction.

Do I need to restore those junctions in order for the backup to continue? I have saved the MKLINK commands to a text file so I can redo them if necessary.

Thanks.....
