Hi,

Been playing with the automatic backup when attaching an external drive..

 

Acronis seems to recognize the particular external SSD I'm using...regardless of the windows assigned drive letter which is good.

Any idea how it does that?   Drive label?  Or some obscure serial number?

How to use a different drive (without re-defining the backup task)?

Dan, welcome to these public User Forums.

ATI uses the partition GUID of the backup drive selected for your backup task as this is less likely to change than using the drive letter does.

If you want to use a different drive with that same backup task (not recommended) then you would need to reselect the destination drive again, but will lose an connection to the files created on the original drive.
