I have 2 2tb My Passport drives of same model.
I use windows backup to backup approximately 1.4 tb each night.
I rotate between the drives each night.
The o/s is windows server 2008 r2.
Windows backup recognizes that they are different drives though they are of the same model and same drive letter when I rotate them. Windows seems to be picking up on the identifier which seems to be about 50 characters long.
Once I rotate the drives, If I go into the windows backup it shows the drive from the previous night as being off-line (which is correct), so I have to go in and set up the backup again going to the newly rotated in drive.
Is there a way to clone or set up the drives so that windows backup will not recognize they are different devices? Or so that I don’t have to go into windows backup each day and set up the backup again?
I appreciate any assistance I can get.
thanks
