Acronis True Image 2018 on W10 Insiders 17738 + can't find my USB backup location for a sheduled backup run

Thread needs solution

During this Insiders build  17738 but also on many previous ones  I regulary notice that  the scheduled back-up fails due to the fact that it can't find the back-up location on my connected and running external USM drive.

However: Within Acronis T.I. I can then open that location run a validation run etc etc.

The workaround I found out that works is simply:  Alter  my Old Backu-up location to the new but same back-up location on my externa USB drive.

 Might be a bug?.

Jan, sorry but this is normal operation here due to the fact that each new Windows Insiders build effectively alters partition identifiers when it created a new Recovery partition as part of the upgrade.

The solution, as you have found, is to simply reselect the destination location again.

Unfortunately this can be a rather repetitive process especially with the current rush of Insiders builds (3 this week so far - 17733, 17738 & 17741 yesterday!).
