Backup on 2 different SATA disk (I swap them every week)
Hi, I am facing a technical problem, and I would like to know if it has been fixed in the latest versions. I make my backups (entire hard disk type by full backup) on a SATA backup disk, located in a removable drawer of my PC. I have two identical backup disks (WD Red 2TB), and I swap disks every week, in order to keep a backup somewhere else than the office. So I turn off the PC, I extract the disk from its drawer, I replace it with the other disk, and I restart the PC. The disk is thus mounted as a fixed disk in the PC, and Windows recognizes it as if it was the same disk, with always the same system letter E:\ Fine!
The problem is that after the disk swap, the backup tells me that the destination disk has not been found, even though it has exactly the same characteristics as the other backup disk (same model , same size). I am then obliged at each permutation to repoint the backup to the correct disk/backup directory (even though it is the same unit E: and same existing directory E:\Backup\). And the backup works again.
Is it a bug? Has it been fixed recently? What can I do so that the backups are carried out indifferently on one disk or the other without flinching?
I tried cloning both drives, but same problem. I pasted the same system identifier to them, same thing. So I guess True image keep record of a hardware disk identifier...
Any idea to make true image think it's the same disk?
