What is the error you're getting? Could you post the log file?

Okay, I do not normally use backup folders with spaces, but I tested it now and it all worked fine for me. No issues with spaces, so it looks like red herring.
I may be wrong, but I think the issue is with the fact that you are backing up to a folder under the OneDrive directory. The error occurs when the script attempts to delete old backup folder, but I suspect that the folder it tries to delete is not really there (it's a OneDrive feature that makes it look like the folder is there, but in fact, it's just a pointer and to get the folder content, you need to download the files from the cloud). If you manually download the folder contents via the Windows Explorer and try again, I assume it will work. Or remove the old backup folders from OneDrive, so they do not appear in the directory list.
Generally, I would not recommend backing up to OneDrive for a number of reasons, so I'd suggest using an external flash or hard drive. Does this make sense?

OK, I understand - I'll work something out, like copying the files over to Onedrive after they are created in a batch file or similar.
Thansk for your speedy reply!
