    This has always been possible.
    Onedrive is WEBDAV. WebDAV can be mounted as a drive (NET USE). Network drives can be backed up by the BA client.

    First, get your customer ID:
    Log in at https//onedrive.live.net
    click on files
    copy out the CID (customer ID) from the URL.

    If using 2-factor, then generate an app password here:
    https://account.live.com/proofs/AppPassword

    Now, from explorer you can use MAP NETWORK DRIVE:
    Your WEBDAV URL is https://d.docs.live.net/CUSTOMER_ID_HERE/
    Your userid is the windows live email address.
    Your password is the app password.

    From CMD, BAT you can mount it this way:
    net use * https://d.docs.live.net/45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ /user:"user@outlook.com" "password"

    Now, DSMC can back it up if it's in the DOMAIN, or manually specified:

    dsmc i Z:
    Normal File--> 285,134 \\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Documents\My Games\Life Is Strange\
    Directory--> 0 \\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Documents\YouCam [Sent]
    Directory--> 0 \\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Pictures [Sent]
    Directory--> 0 \\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Pictures\Camera Roll [Sent]
    Directory--> 0 \\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Pictures\Saved Pictures [Sent]
    Successful incremental backup of '\\d.docs.live.net@ssl\45xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
