Rename Endpoints

Thread needs solution

I have two dozen Windows 10 endpoints that I am backing up successfully each once a week. I have renamed all the PCs to be more descriptive and conform to a new naming standard. What is required in Acronis to have each PC's backup folder be under the new PC name, not the old one? I have removed a PC from Acronis and re-added it, but it still saves backups under the old computer name.

Hello Mike,

welcome to Acronis forums!

All computers that are added to Acronis Management Server are assigned the IDs. Even if the computer is renamed and re-added, the ID is not changed. As a result, old backup plans that were specified to back up to the specific folders will be deployed to those machines.

The only way that I can see here is either to edit the backup plans and specify the new location for that PCs or to create new backup plans and delete old backups as soon as you have enough new backups created to new locations.

Thank you.
