You’re lucky to not encounter the problem, but yes, it does exist, on non-corporate versions of Windows. It’s about “Backup”, with no mention of OneDrive until you find out that’s where your data went. See my description [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/backup-means-backup-microsoft-not-move-and-destroy/1017839/38), written a year ago but still valid – it happened to me yesterday, on a Windows 10 VM that supposedly doesn’t even get updates anymore.
