  • OneDrive is for syncing files across devices. It’s not a backup.

    Edit:

    Since there seems to be a lot of hate on my comment, allow me to explain.

    Backup software has a schedule, it has monitoring, it has alerting (email, SMS, ticket submission, etc), and checksumming. OneDrive frequently just shits the bed for whatever reason, often goes unnoticed in the corner, and users frequently miss it and nobody, not even IT, know. Not to mention it’s riddled with bugs.

    Yes, you are copying files from point A to point B but it is not the same. If you rely on onedrive as a “backup” you’re going to be disappointed at some point when you lose your files :)

    If you delete a file over here, then it disappears from over there. That’s not a backup. On a real backup, if you delete files or lose them or whatever, you have days/weeks/months to go back on versions to restore.









  • The last few weeks I’ve had a similar problem and I can’t find a solution. Same installation of manjaro for around 7 years. I made no system setting changes. All I do is update the system with the package manager. When I check some systemd logs or dmesg it all looks normal except from wake it mentions something about an unresponsive disk, but it always works fine after the second wake or if I just shut it down and then boot it up. It’s only a problem from suspend to wake. I can type in my password and log in but it pretty much seems after 10 seconds it suspends itself again for the first time.
