- On Mazian, start OneDrive.
- robocopy the primary arcology volume to the OneDrive folder (under the Arcology director) using the

- Install OneDrive on the instance.
- Sign in to OneDrive and let it synchronize the Arcology directory.
- Install Hexarc (make sure config.ars is correct).

- robocopy OneDrive to the arcology volume on AWS
- Run Hexarc on AWS
