This integration allows you to use [OneDrive](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage) for [Home Assistant Backups](/common-tasks/general/#backups).
Backups will be created in a folder called `Home Assistant\backups_<id>` in the `App Folder` of your OneDrive.

`id` is part of your Home Assistant instance's unique id to allow backups from multiple instances to the same OneDrive account.

## Backup folder
The backup folder is `root:\Apps\[Home Assistant | Graph]\backups_{id}`. This is not configurable because otherwise the integration would need permissions to write into your entire drive. You can, however, rename the application folder which is called `Home Assistant` or `Graph` in your OneDrive.
The last folder in the hierarchy (`backups_{id}`) is always a unique folder per Home Assistant instance to ensure that backups from different instances are not mixed. The name of this folder can be set during integration setup and can be changed later through reconfiguring the integration or by renaming the folder OneDrive.
## Requested permissions by the integration
