The latest backup has stopped ... Plug in the external drive

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I keep getting this error (The latest backup has been stopped. It will be restarted at xxxx The backup cannot be started. Plug in the external drive containing the files of this backup.) when attempting to backup to an external USB drive. 

The drive is available in Windows Explorer (and I can create a new folder) and Scan disk (Properties > Tools > Check) completes without error. 

I suspect this is actually an Acronis issue. Has anyone else seen it?

Thanks

You should insure that the drive letters for the external drive have not changed.  Windows randomly assigns drive letters so removable drives letters can change when least expected.
