Frank, welcome to these user forums.

Sorry but I am not confident that I understand the problem you are writing about here?

Are you creating a backup to a USB memory stick and then changing the USB stick for a different stick?

When backing up to USB devices, the recommendation is to pre-allocate a drive letter from later in the alphabet, i.e pick a drive letter like R: or S: or later, so that this will be given back to the device when it is reconnected each time, rather than being given the next available drive letter.

If you are changing USB devices then you should create separate backup tasks, one for each unique USB device, as each device will have its own unique identifier (or UUID) which is recorded in the Acronis Database information for the task.
