Specify the Source
The Source page lets you specify the OneDrive source nodes that you want to protect. You can select more than one OneDrive source nodes in a plan. If you have not added any nodes to the Console, you can add OneDrive source nodes from the Source page.
Note: You can save a plan without adding any source nodes, but the plan is not deployed unless you add any nodes.
Follow these steps:
