Problems when trying to back up Windows 10 to two separate external USB drives
Running Win 10.. always latest updates, and Acronis True Image 2020. Had this problem for a while now. I try to keep 2 separate external USB backup drives, but seems like Acronis doesn't always like this. For example, I have two 5TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable USB drives. I create my backups to save everything from the G: and H; drives to the backup; about 1.2 TB total for a full, and very small for partials. Either backup drive will identify as the I: drive when I plug them into USB, and that's also how they are displayed in Acronis. I never have both drives plugged into USB at the same time. I manually start the backups when I fell its time for one, and it does 1 full and 4 partials before going for another full backup. I dont use the verification option. Here's the problem I run into: After doing a few back ups on one hard drive, then I try to do a backup using the other hard drive, I get a "No current Disk" error, even though the disk is up and viewable using file manager. Any ideas why Acronis doesn't recognise the 2nd drive, and is there something I can do to correct this, instead of wiping the drive clean and starting over?
