Having used a spare hard drive for my backups,I switched to an external hard drive. Having backed up partitions and a disc image, I want to backup files and folders.
'Source drive C - Destination F:\Macrium' insists on an alternative location, despite 'use the Image Id as the file name' is checked.
I'm trying to backup my whole C drive and cannot understand what I can enter as a alternative folder instead of F\Macrium.

Any help would be welcome!

I have never experienced this issue so it is hard for me to offer any further help. I have created XML files referencing external USB drives and never had to enter alternate destinations nor did Reflect change my path.

The Seagate drive is attached via USB.

Thanks for your interest.

It might be easier to have the external drive connected while you are creating the backup definition file. That should eliminate the error and allow you to specify the destination.

However I am confused by the H:\Macrium does not exist, message.

I'm trying to make a new definition file for the external drive.
The C drive and Reflect are open. I change the destination from F to H
and get 'The path H:\Macrium does not exist'.
Alternative locations are offered, which do not seem to have any relation to Reflect.
If I knew how to attach an image of this window to this entry, I could do that.

Incremental backups are made with the same definition file used to create the full backup.

When you are creating the definition file, is the external drive connected to the computer and available to Reflect?

On the new ext. drive there is only one Disc Image so far.
I'm trying to make the first incremental backup definition file for the new drive.
