After mid week, I knew we had an issue and had to rollback to the on-prem file

share.. so how do I get all the folders/files they now created back onto the on-
prem file share? Slept on it, googled a bit, thought maybe I could restore from SVC
or from backups taken a week ago.. but that would be missing a weeks worth of new
data, since the on-prem shares were deleted. So I decided to install the OneDrive
Sync client on the server, add the two folders as shortcuts (takes about 2 hours
just to add the shortcuts), make the files available offline (600GB took about 36
hours to download it all (OneDrive averaged about 40MB/s), and good thing I noticed
the C: drive was only 100GB free early on because I forgot OneDrive directories
default to C:\users\.., so bumped that up to 1TB for some buffer), and then copied
the two folders from c:\users\profchaos\one drive\ back onto the D:\ drive where
they lived previously (took about 4 hours for the copy operation to complete).
Started the download Friday around noon, finished around 10am Sunday morning. Of
course scheduled the "downtime" with the Engineers prior. I am just grateful all
sharing/security permissions carried over in the copy since they got placed in an
already shared directory. Then went to the Sharepoint site where they were hosted
and deleted them, so hopefully the next time OneDrive sync, it should remove the
shortcut to the folder for them automatically, but I still expect many tickets
tomorrow even though I sent out an email about moving back to the mapped drive and
all that.
