- You clearly didn’t read my post
- You’re rude
- You start every single comment with the slightest mention of syncthing with the same lines regardless of context
With sync you only have replicants of one file that can be lost through the sync.
You seem to be missing/ignoring that sync will protect against data loss from lost/broken devices. When that happens, those connections are severed with no deletions propagating through them. Not only that, you can configure syncthing to retain older versions for over a year to avoid issues of unwanted edits.
Or mini pc with one drive.
You have to be joking with this. There is no way I’m letting that tracker-filled ransomware near any of my computers.
having local redundancy (e.g. Mirroring) isn’t really necessary.
Simple mirroring doesn’t protect against bitrot. RAID 6 does.
You’re clearly not suited for giving out advice, so you’re getting ignored and blocked. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Thank you. Now can you please explain this to my IT department that thinks force syncing everything on our computers to OneDrive is a solution to our lack of backups?

Well, I mean it kind of is a solution. It’s a cloud backup solution. OneDrive doesn’t just keep a single version of your file, there’s versioning, retention policies, etc.
Cloud makes a lot of sense for businesses with small IT staff and a lot of users because while it’s not fully in your control, it comes with all the things being discussed here “out of the box” and scales infinitely.
For self hosters there’s some fun and power in doing everything yourself, but even then adding cloud as part of your backup (if done securely) is usually a pretty good idea.
