This issue will only affect file backup on OneDrive with Files On-Demand enabled.
Cause

When the "Files On-Demand" is enabled for your OneDrive folder, it saves disk space by not saving the file on the computer, instead, new files created online or on another device appear as online-only files in File Explorer.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, there are a few options:

  • Option 1
    Disable the File On-Demand option. Note that this will increase the disk space usage on the affected client computer.
