Acronis True Image Home 2011 does not Backup

Thread needs solution

The old USB Backup Disk was inoperable and replaced with a new EMPTY disk, all old Backups are gone.

Now the Program does not Backup to the new Disk with the following Message:
Kann das Backup-Archiv auf dem Wechsellaufwerk nicht öffnen. Entweder gibt es dort kein Archiv oder es ist beschädigt.
Legen Sie das letzte Medium für das Backup-Archiv ein ...(German Version)
(Cannot open the backup archive on the ... drive, ... insert the last medium ...)

Want to use the old Backup Job, what can i do? How can I remove the Error, so that the job is working as it was new setup?

WISHLIST: From international (German...) Version SHOULD be visible the ENGLISH ORIGINAL MESSAGE, so that i can search in English (my own translations could differ from the program translations !!!)

Thanks Andreas.

Don't modify the old backup job. Create a new one.

Thanks for your Answer.

That means, that the history is connected to the backup jobs ( 1 job = 1 history ).

But i have planned to use now two media (to have two backups), so when the software doesn't makes what the job says, but uses the information in an internal log, so two media don't work automatically, because the software will not identify the backups on the media...

Is this so?

Best regards
Andreas

I routinely backup to two external hard drives. It's safest and cleanest to create a separate backup task for each.

Andreas,
To expand on wh at MVP Tuttle has already written,

A backup task ties itself to one specific storage disk via the characteristics/serials of the target disk so using two targets with only one task will not be successful.

As Tuttle has indicated, use a special task for each disk and each task.
Optionally you could also use the MVP's MudCrab program called DRIVENOTIFY.

User would configure DriveNotify to advise the user of which disk to attach when backup is due. This is referenced in my signature below.
