Nonstop backup doesn't see "B" drive

Thread needs solution

I'm using Nonstop backup on my "C" drive. I'd also like to backup my "B" drive but Nonstop backup doesn't see it as a "Source", it does see it as a "Destination". The "B" drive is a standard internal hard drive.
Is it because the drive is "B" that it assumes it's not a hard drive?
It sees it in every other instance of Acronis, just not nonstop backup.

Thank you.

It looks like a bug, although the letters A and B are typically for certain type of drives. What happens if you change the drive letter to a letter after "C"?

You might be right. Years ago drive B was a floppy drive. Even today when Windows assigns drive letters automatically when you plug in a USB device it doesn't use B (at least I've never seen it).

Well, that might be it. Unfortunatley I'd have to reinstall all of my programs. Not going to happen! :)
Acronis does see it in other parts of the program correctly though so...
For instance I have no problem doing a normal full backup of my "B" drive. It's just nonstop backup.
I don't suppose they fix these kinds of issues?

Well, not to seem ungrateful, but I got off of the phone with support and since my purchase date is 5 days over the 30 day support they want me to pay for support. I asked"What if it's a bug and the issue isn't resolved? Do I still have to pay?" Answer "Yes {{chuckles}}"
Strange that I'd have to pay to report and help debug a bug.

They were very polite, though other than the pretty condescending chuckle.

Well that's nice to know! Thank you!

Would have been nice if they'd mentioned that on the phone. I'll give it a shot.

The only thing that worries me is if bugs that are deemed to be, so to say, 'by design' limitations (but not limitations described in user guide) and are not defects, and because of this won't be fixed can be a ground for such PPI refund.
