Vault automatically creates folder on inserted media.
Hi Acronis,
Are you aware that if a backup job writes to a Vault that is a folder on a removable media (e.g. folder E:\MyBackup), that every removable media that is later inserted into that PC, and also is assigned drive letter E:, will within 14-20 minutes, automatically have a folder \MyBackup created on it?
Additionally, if you don’t want to wait 14-20 minutes, just create a vault on a removable media, remove that media, insert another different media, open Acronis and go onto Vaults, and that folder will be immediately created on the newly inserted media.
I would hope that Acronis would at least read the Disk ID to verify that the correct media/disk is inserted before indiscriminately writing to that media.
Do you care to comment on this?

Hi Ekaterina,
Thank you for the link :-)
As that other post mentioned (and from an IT "best practices" perspective), it would be much more professional if the disk's ID/identifier was used instead of a drive letter. As it is now, if a Vault configuration exists in the Acronis software, and it references a drive letter, any media that is inserted autmatically gets that vault's folder created on the inserted media. That creates confusion and this is not desireable.
Could you please mention this forum thread and it's posts to your upper management again?
