WD My Passport as removable device
Hello,
is there any possibility to mark my external hard-drive as removable device in ATI 2014? I'd like to get prompt to insert in before starting backup process.
Any clues?

Are you sure? So why ATI is not prompting for a new media insertion? I can write a custom script to check for path existence, but prefer to use built-in functionality.

Acronis does not promt for the backup target but will auto start a backup if the schedule is due at the time of insertion.
The scheduler opton "run when the current device is attached" causes more grief and questions than it worth
- If you schedule a backup to a USB flash drive or validation of a backup that is located on a USB flash drive, one more check box appears: Run when the current destination device is attached. Selecting the check box will let you perform a missed operation when the USB flash drive is attached if it was disconnected at the scheduled time.
- If you want to regularly back up data located on a removable media (for example USB flash drive) or remote storage (for example network folder or NAS), we recommend that you select the Run when the current source device is attached check box. This is useful because an external storage device may be often unavailable at the scheduled moment of backup. In that case, if the check box is selected, the missed backup operation will start when the device is connected or attached.

One easy option might be to put an auto start in the root directory of the usb disk so when the device was inserted, it did an action of your choosing.
One of those actions could ge the start of a backiup.
