I looked into this some time ago for similar reasons, but as far as I can 
tell, it does not seem to be possible.  The "OneDrive for Business" 
product has a completely different API from the consumer "OneDrive".  It 
is really SharePoint that has been rebranded, and there don't seem to be 
any working open-source client implementations.  (There are a couple of 
projects that claim to be working on it, but I didn't have any success in 
using them.)  In any case it certainly isn't supported by duplicity.

The only approach that seemed promising is that there is a proprietary 
third-party Linux client called goodsync, which is reported to work. 
It's not free but is moderately priced.  You could use duplicity to back 
up to a local file:// target and then manually sync the files to the 
cloud.  I didn't actually try this myself but I may at some point.

If you are even more patient you could manually upload files through the 
web client, but I had trouble getting this to work efficiently / reliably.
