Now what I am trying to do is to run a backup ever day on a different hard drive from our Super Swap drive enclosure.
(Super Swap drive info http://promise.com/media_bank/Download%20Bank/Datasheet/1_SS1600_DS_web…)
We have 7 drives in total and 1 Super Swap drive enclosure. Now Monday to Thursday we have a different drive and on Fridays we use one of the 3 Fridays drives, now ever day someone in the IT department will replace the drive in the enclosure for the next days.

Now the backup plan I have made backs up to the B: drive, all 7 of the drives have been formatted with no name and a drive letter and path of B:
I have now ran a full backup on drive 1 (Monday) this worked fine but when I run the same backup plan on drive 2 (Tuesday) it does not work.

Now is this because I made the Vault on drive 1 and not drive 2-7? or
Do I need to copy the data from drive 1 onto drive 2 then run the backup for that day what will remove the last backup? Or
Is there more to it??

Hi Mikey

Please note if you have setup a centralised vault it’s not possible to remove this, these vaults are designed to be persistent storage (always online and not removable).

The way around this if you need to remove your HDD’s is to backup to the drive but using the simplified naming of backup archives method, details can be found at the following section in the manual:
http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11/index.html#10483.html

Another suggestion I would make is to ensure the HDD controller you are connected to allows for HDD removal on the fly or the HDD is safely removed/disconnected from the server... Eg, if the HDD is removed whilst any data is being written/updated this can cause issues and corruption. There are some free eject scripts you can find online that people use to dismount volumes and you can use these as a post script of your backup if you want to reduce any risk of corruption.
