I am looking for an automation with Microsoft Power Automate or other tool, which automatically creates a local backup of a OneNote Notebook or of the Onedrive folder in which the OneNote notebook is inside in a certain interval.
Onenote 2016 ("old" onenote which comes with office 365 but is also available for free) has a built in backuptool which can make a local backup every X hours/days.
You only have to make sure Onenote is always open.

how to sync office 365 outlook mails with attachments to AWS S3 automatically? it must be on server or some microsoft app or some lambda function. I don't want to do it via pc
I tried to find some connectors but without luck
There is no ready-made or built-in tools for that. You may consider creating a script or application for doing that using Graph API or EWS. At least using these APIs you can get attachments in Outlook for further uploading to the web server.
See How to upload a file to amazon S3 super easy using c#.
I cannot figure out how the MS Onenote backup works. I have set it to backup locally once a day and the manual backup works. I often work remotely and the computer that performs the backup was on all day but Onenote was not opened on that device yet I used it on my phone and another computer. It has not backed up for a few days.
Does Onenote need to be opened to backup? When does it do the backup? Does OneNote need to be open all day or is just a quick automated open/close at the start of the day enough?
Alternatively, is there an automated way of backing up from Onedrive? I have used cloudsynch (Synology NAS) successfully to backup google drive and can backup the OneNote folders but the backup OneNote folders have no content.
As the name of the question states, I'm working with my company on a project in UiPath that is responsible for scraping a slurry of excel files from a SharePoint server. Unfortunately a decent portion of it is proprietary so I don't know how much of the actual code I can justifiably put here.
I have inside of UiPath (which is essentially a shell for vb.net and C# specifically tailored for automation) functionality to input a website url into the file explorer and have it navigate to the OneDrive folder for that SharePoint site.
This was working as expected until yesterday in the morning when it decided to brick itself and instead pull up the SharePoint site on the web browser.
Is there any way to ensure or otherwise understand why it won't open the folder path? I had it working before and I don't know why it doesn't work anymore.

I have outlook 2016 with MS Vision 2013 installed. When I try to open MS visio file from Harmon.ie, I get License error message.
Error:
Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this product. You should repair the office program by using control panel.
I can open the MS same MS Visio drawing manually or from sharepoint with no problem.
This error message could not be directly related to harmon.ie. You need to reach out to Microsoft about it. You should reproduce it out of harmon.ie.
Indeed, when user clicks on a document - harmon.ie (as a client application versus web interface) determines appropriate application based on the document extension and then launches the associated desktop application by passing it the URL to the document. Running the application from command line and passing it the direct URL of the Visio document duplicates the behavior of opening the document via harmon.ie. You can get the url to your Visio document by right clicking on it from our sidebar, and select copy address.
Please check again to see if running MS Visio, from command line and providing the URL to the SharePoint document would reproduce the issue:
-Open a cmd window
-Sample command format is below
"Path_to_Visio\visio_exe.exe" "urlof_document/document.visio_extension”

I have a console application that uses COM automation to manipulate .DOC and .DOCX files in Word 2010. This works in a scheduled task for a not logged in user account on two development machine (running 32 bit Windows Server 2003) but not on another machine (running 64 bit Windows Server 2003). It does run on that machine if run from the command line by the same user account when logged in (so I don’t think it’s a 32/64 bit issue).
The code hangs at the point it tried to open a document not when the Word application is created.
I have logged in as the user account and opened the file manually (so I don’t think it is popping up any dialog boxes).
I thought that it might be something to do with autocorrect and while looking at the proofing options noticed that the “automatically use corrections from the spelling checker” checkbox is greyed out.
I have used process monitor and could not find any file access failures for files which are on the dev machine but not on the other (Word seems to look for Normal.dot in a number of places but this file in not on the dev machine either).
I am aware that Word automation on a server is not recommended or supported by Microsoft and may be outside the terms of the license.
I am using automation as I need to manipulate files for older versions of Word.
This may be related to my other issue with automation from non logged in accounts: Why might COM automation from within a console application work on my development machine but not on another? However this case is different in that opening a file is hanging rather than creation of the application program failing.
What else should I try?
