switching backup drives

Thread needs solution

ACronis 2014.

Previously backing up partition to drive E:. I moved all files to a larger drive, Y:. Updated the settings for the backup to point to Y:

Now I get errors about "Failed to open backup E:\My_Partitions_inc..."

How to fix?

thx.

You can edit yout backup task and choose the MOVE option and change the current destination location from E to whevever the target disk/backup location folder is on Y. This will pont the task to its new loca tion on Y.

never received notice you replied. Sorry.

I don't see a MOVE option when I click on Settings for the backup task.

Great graphic! thx.

Well...I moved the file that seems to be causing the problem back to where Acronis is looking for it, per the log file. When I try MOVE, it says the file is in use, although no backup was running or scheduled. I turned off the schedule, restarted Acronis, and the file still shows as "in use."
