    I have never ever managed to capture any live system or offline system (with WinPE boot) with Onedrive folder NOT fully excluded

    I use "Files on Demand", so some files are just pointers (they do not actually live on my system - OD is "shared" from various computers

    No dism (wimgapi) or wimlib (libwim-15) can actually handle the situation

    I could not find anywhere any good description why that is or if there is any planned fix?

    Because to me it looks like a bug

    Ofcourse if I had ALL files available local, then it would work, but that is not what I have (and I am not turning FOD off)

    Only way ever I could manage is to exclude whole OD folder (which is not ideal)

    Had to use Macrium Reflect Free to be able to do image/restore (which is something I always try to avoid, if there is "simpler" way)

    Nobody?

    wimlib.net forums is pretty much waste of time
