Description of my issue:
HI,

I can't seem to upload many backup files in an existing directory on Microsoft One Drive. I can get it to work if I create a new directory in the process with different name. Like this: /backupwebsite/bpp/db/[YEAR]-[MONTH]-[DAY]

The first backup work and after I have the error:
Could not create directory backupwebsite/bpp/db-test. 500: Error nameAlreadyExists: An item with the same name already exists under the parent
Failed to process file /htdocs/Auto Backup Joomla/BPP/db-BPP-20151223-205729.sql
Post-processing interrupted -- no more files will be transferred

I did tried adding a / at the end, same result

Thanks

Hello Samuel,

thanks for the report, it seems that the problem is caused by OneDrive.
Taking a closer look at the whole process, when we ask OneDrive to list the whole directory tree it returns empty even if the directory actually exists; I suspect there's some kind of cache involved.
We have to develop a workaround for this, since their API seems to be unreliable

Ok thank you. Good to know that I'm not crazy.

Also, is it normal that the one drive option is not showing in the version 4.1.2 (joomla 2.5)?

Thank you

Yes, since that post-processing engine was added lately.
