Recently as part of recent project, a customer wants to be able to run an app from Company Portal that backs up a user profile to OneDrive then after a system reset then if the user wants to restore the backed up folder from OneDrive back to the PC. This works on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

There are two parts of this script and both are just batch files can later be converted as a Win32 App.
