When OneDrive server not ready
The first number (Retry option) indicates how many times the application tries to access the destination server if it is not available. By default this option is set to 5 attempts. The second number (wait option) indicates how many seconds to wait between two consecutive attempts to access the destination location. By default this option is set to 60 seconds. This option is useful when the destination OneDrive server has restrictions (i.e. only 2 users logged in the same time, no. of accesses etc.) and insures that if the OneDrive server cannot accept your connection, it will not be "hammered" by sending log-in requests frequently.

Configurations
The File->Options->Online connections->OneDrive window allows you to define OneDrive configurations that can be used on the Destination page in the New Backup Wizard or Backup Properties windows. You can add, edit, copy or delete an OneDrive connection using this window.
In order to add a new OneDrive connection press the Add button. The Define OneDrive configuration window will appear in the list and you can enter the other settings for this connection.
