Changing Drive Letters for continuity in Crashplan Backups

Sometimes my USB HDD letter changes and this causes me backup headaches with Crashplan.

I haven’t taken time to look at the root cause of the issue, but I have found the work around for this and this is it!

1. Open a cmd window
2. Type: diskmgmt.msc
3. right click on the drive you want to modify and select
   1. ‘Change Drive Letters and Path’
4. Select and change the drive letter

I hope this helped!

 

Keep learning!

John
