Acronis True Image 2014 Premium

Thread needs solution

With earlier versions have had problems backup up my PC using scheduled backups to a different external USB3 drive - for example... Monday's backup to Drive 1 (1tb Toshiba Canvio USB3 2.5" HDD) ; Wednesday backup to drive 2 ((1tb Toshiba Canvio USB3 2.5" HDD); Friday backup to drive 3 (1Tb Toshiba Canvio USB3 2.5" HDD). I want to ensure I have multiple backup drives in case one is damaged etc. The first backup works ok. After removing Drive 1 and pluggin in Drive 2, the next backup fails.. and so on.

With this new Acronis True Image 2014 Premium, will the same thing happen or has the "bug" been fixed.

By your desciption I think you need to setup a different task for each day and each disk used. It appears that you are trying to use 1 task for 3 different jobs. Also be aware that with USB devices Windows arbitrarily assigns a drive letter to any storage device attached using the first available letter. It is recommended that users assign drive letters to USB attached storage devices using letter assignments in the far end range of letters (ie.X,Y,Z).

Set up a single task to run on Monday to assigned letter X drive
Set up a second task to run on Wednesday to assigned letter Y drive.
Finally, set up a third task to run on Friday to assigned letter Z drive.
This should work providing you do not get the drives themselves mixed up and that specified drives are in fact attached to PC at scheduled backup time.

Enchantech is correct. You should create a separate backup task for each backup device.
