			==Overview==
			WPU Backup To Cloud (BUTC) creates an “invisible” backup of your data into a OneDrive folder. This folder is not meant to be modified by the end user either on the machine OR via web clients. You will see this folder if you look on the web or browse sync errors posted by the OneDrive client.

			The backup file is available in any Mac user's OneDrive account in this OneDrive folder:
			'''abc-1234567(username).backup'''
			This folder contains hardlinks* to user files in: Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Movies, Music. Photos -- So long as the scripts have access to the items*.
