I keep my media files wherever they are and copy the ones I want to use to Legacy. Just an extra precaution.
I backup to One Drive separately from the backup tab. On the Backup to My Computer check Media and Change to wherever you want, in my case OneDrive\Legacy. That's simple so I suspect I missed something in your question. In my case the local copy of OneDrive also gets backed up in my backup program so that's an extra copy for insurance.
