Hello,

Applications, settings, and credentials are backed up.

The message “Partial backup” appears when files are not backed up to OneDrive (cloud storage).

With the free plan, OneDrive provides only 5GB of storage.

To use more than that, a subscription is required.

Although the free plan offers only 5GB, if your backup fits within that limit, please click on “Partial backup” and continue.

If you do not wish to use OneDrive, it is also possible to back up to other cloud storage services or external storage devices.
