ATIH 2014 - Backup on two external devices

Thread needs solution

Hi everybody, i'm currently using Acronis True Image 2014 on Win 7 Pro 64 Bits.

Backup is starting automatically every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday at 12:30, with complete backup every 4 incremential version.

I have 2 external hard drive with Acronis Secure Zone on each one.

Sometimes, i have mail notification wich saids "fail opening backup atis://asz(CC16F9D1-04E8-BE0D-DFA2-11E2EB0979CE). please make sure that backup location is connected."

Should it be caused by running backup Monday & tuesday on hdd #1 and the backup wednesday & friday on hdd #2 ?

How can I run backup on two external hard drives ?

Thanks.

To run backups on 2 independent drives you must setup 2 separate tasks, 1 task for each drive. Then, run the task for which ever drive is attached to the machine at the time of backup.

Also, you should assign a fixed drive letter to each external drive, high in the alphabet (e.g. V) to avoid the letters changing.

Thanks for your reply.

Enchantech, its gonna be difficult to make because its for several customers wich are in different towns, so I'm looking for automatic backup solution. As well, I know that customers often forgot changing hdd every week ...

The advantage was that customer have one hdd in company and the other one at home, to prevent damages at work (fire, steal, ...)

I'm thinking of doing complete backup, maybe every 2 days or every week ...

Gérard SABUT,

Hi GroverH, thanks for your help.

Just another question, does Acronis Backup & Recovery needs 1 task per external disk too, as ATIH 2014 & 2015 ?

Thanks.

I am not familiar with Backup & Recovery. You will need to post on that forum or contact Acronis for presales support.

I added additional information to my link--especially paragraph 3 at that link.
