Does not backup after i swap out external HDD's

Thread needs solution

Purchased brand new 2015 Acronis backup software and set it up to back up daily. Worked fine for a week, then i switched external HDD(so i can store one off-site). Now it doesn't backup anymore. Sometimes if i go tell it to backup manually it will continue to backup daily until i swap the HDD's again.

Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks

The backup task only works with the original storage disk is was designed for. The task was based for a specific storage disk ID.
In order to get the other storage disk to be accepted, you need a second task matched to the 2nd disk ID.

In the operations tab of your existiing backup task, there is a "clone Settings" option.
Execute the clone settings and then edit clone. The 2nd disk must be attached during the edit
and point the 2nd task to the 2nd disk.
