I am using Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 (Update 4 - 38774), under Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) on HP Z820 workstation.
A year ago I defined a managed Centralized Vault (intended for System Backups of the Operating System) on this workstation, with the path:
 E:\Acronis_Sys_Backup ,
and the catalog path:
 E:\Acronis_Sys_Catalog\Catalog  .
Drive E:\ was then an external 5TB disk.

A week ago I again backed up my Operating System, and the same external 5TB disk was connected to the same workstation, only now it had the drive letter G:\ assigned to it. Drive letter E:\ was now assigned to an internal hard disk drive that had never before had any Acronis vault on it.

I was surprised to discover that the new System Backup was located on a new folder E:\Acronis_Sys_Backup in the internal disk, and the catalog was now located in a new folder E:\Acronis_Sys_Catalog\Catalog in the internal disk. Nothing was added or changed in the external 5TB disk G:\ even though it was the original disk where the Centralized Vault had been created.

So now, if I will wish to access the old System backup, I guess I will have to make arrangements to change the drive-letter of the external 5TB disk to E:\ , or alternatively to perform a complex Detach and Attach procedure to the Centralized Vault, before any restore-activity is possible.

Clearly, this is not a good way to run things, and I am now asking you:
 Can you suggest a different way to define a Centralized Managed Vault on a given external hard-disk, so that in the future, Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 will automatically recognize that vault no matter what drive-letter is assigned to that external hard-disk, or even if the vault contents and catalog have been copied or moved to a different hard-disk, (if the original hard-disk failed or for any other reason).

The vault itself - its name, or properties, or some specific code (hidden or visible) assigned to it, should serve to make it uniquely identifiable by Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 as the correct Centralized Vault, so that any new backup is added to the same vault in a new archive, and all past archives are directly accessible in this same vault for possible restore activity as needed.

Hello Ben-Zion Joselson,

Thank you for your posting! In the current builds the software is getting access to the drive based on the drive letter, not on the disk identifier, that's why it's unfortunately not possible to associate the vault with one certain drive. Our product management has already received similar requests and is considering implementing of the new algorithm. I agree, that the backup scheduling would be much more functional, if the software would use the unique IDs to find the vault. However we cannot guarantee, that such changes will be implemented or set the exect timeframe.

Thank you,
