letters drivers

Thread needs solution

my PC has decided to change the letters of the driver , I could not recover and would like to know if it is just a correction of the path of the ' external drive to save the backup, or if I have to start all over again backup. thanks

Your best chance of success is to start over with a new task.

1. Use Windows Disk management and assign a specific drive letter to the external. I use letters such as X or Y or Z.
2. Create the new task and then point backup location to the external with the new drive letter. Also point the new task to a new empty sub-folder so there is no inter-mixing of backup files.
3. The insertion of new device such as a Camera or usb drive, etc will cause the drive letter to change on an external disk unless the external has a higher drive letter. Which is why letters x or y or Z is the preferred so no drive letter will change will occur when a new device is attached.
