I'm surprised that anyone even uses the Windows Backup system, to be
honest. Every time I've taken a look at it, it appeared to be little
more than an automated process to copy your Documents and Pictures
folders elsewhere.

I use OneDrive to back up my work machine, also.  It took some
research to understand how it works...  I have it configured so that I
have local copies of everything, which is not the default.  I'm not
trusting the cloud completely...

Can you set OneDrive up so those local copies are saved to an internal hard
drive? The irony is, I could do backups to that same hard drive with Acronis
*if* I removed it from the computer and put it in a USB enclosure. This
seems silly to me.
