Making Acronis wait for disk to be present

Thread needs solution

Hello all,

Backing up my laptop I need to connect and external drive for backup. I would like to be able to run Acronis under a scheduled task to do this backup. Is there any way to get Acronis to check and see if the drive is available and if not, wait for a specified amount of time and then try again? If the drive was there, then the backup would proceed as usual.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Rob Hix

DriveNotify will do what you want. It will post a info box in the the middle of your desktop telling you to attach the drive and will wait until you do before proceeding. Click on my signature link below and point to item 8A. This was written by forum volunteer & MVP MudCrab. It's a great little program and comes in both a free and paid (nominal charge) version. I bought his program and use in on several of my tasks. The paid version enables more automation.
