This guide is intended for Druva users who want to migrate their data to UIS OneDrive so that it works more readily with their University O365 set up.

Important: Before you begin the data restoration process, sign into the OneDrive application with the Raven credentials.

What is Druva?

  • Druva inSync is a device backup product that backs your files up from any internet connection, anywhere. Once installed on your device it monitors files for changes before compressing, encrypting and sending the data to our servers.

  • Follow the below steps to move Druva data to UIS OneDrive.

For Windows Devices & Mac Devices

Step 1:

  • Open Druva Insync application installed on your MacOS/Windows devices and select the Backup & Restore option.

Step 2:
