Recreating scripts, after replacing hard drive(s)

[omega54321]

Hi

 

My System:

Win 7 (64 bit)

Retrospect 7.5

 

I do Duplicate type backups. For each of my hard drives, I have a "clone" hard drive  that I duplicate to.

I just replaced a main hard drive and it's clone. I transferred my  data from my old drives to the new ones.

The new drives have the sames Drive Letters, labels and file structures as the old ones.

I have many "Duplicate" scripts that backup specific folders.

Retrospect doesn't recognize the sources in the scripts so I was in the process of resetting the sources for each script.

Since I have quit a few scripts to reset the sources for, I was wondering if there is a way to make Retrospect recognize the 

sources in the new hard drives without having to reset each source in each script.

 

Thanks for any help with this.

There is no way. Retrospect uses the unique UUID number to distinguish drive with the same name from each other. That is, of course, to make sure it is the correct source and the correct destination to avoid mistakes.

Thank you so much for the answer to my question. Using the unique UUID is good logic. A trade off between convenience and data safety when replacing drives. Data safety should always be the first priority.
