I’m running my first OneDrive backup and 2 days later it is still running. How do I optimize the performance?

Microsoft throttles their Azure Apps to ensure a consistent experience for all users. To improve performance and to minimize throttling, register multiple Azure apps.

For OneDrive for Business its recommended to have at least 3 apps:

Commit your backup and restart and you should see a faster overall backup window
