How to make Acronis "forget" about a drive?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Original installation was backin up to an external drive K:. Drive was discontinued and replaced by a NAS and backup settings were adjusted. No matter what I do, the backup job keeps looking for files under K:.

Have deleted the job and created from scratch: nothing; have changed the name of the backup file: nothing.

I keep getting this:

Any ideas will be appreciatted.

Pete, you haven't told us what version of ATIH you are using here?

I would suggest running a validation against your backup task and seeing if it throws up warning messages about missing backup files on your original K: drive, if it does then take the option to ignore those versions which should solve this problem for you.
