Moving one backup set to another disk

Thread needs solution

I have three backup sets programmed. The largest one is photos which is over 700GB. Two full backups and the others fill my two TB disk to the pint that the photo set won't do an incremental backup because "the disk is full", even though there are 249GB free and the incremental won't be that large. I have purchased a 4TB disk and want to move the Photo backup to that, leaving the others on the 2TB unit. (i.e. the new 4TB unit will have a new drive letter). Essentially, I want to change the location of this backup from O:\mybackups to S:\mybackups. Can I do this by moving the photos.tib files and then changing the location in the backup settings dialog? If I just change the location, will Acronis ask if I want to move the files, and then move them for me?

you can move them with explorer and make a new location in the task settings. however, ati might not recognize the old backups as part of the new task, so you might have to delete them manually when the time comes to retire them.
