Register the destination
The routine records the selected secondary drive so later checks can distinguish it from another device that happens to receive the same letter.
Backup O'Clock feature
Recognize the intended backup destination.
Windows drive letters can change when devices are moved or reconnected. Backup O'Clock records the destination identity and checks it again before backup work begins.
Wait for a stable ready state
After reconnecting a drive, readiness is confirmed across repeated checks before the software reports it as available.
Replace a drive intentionally
Use the maintenance replacement workflow when you deliberately move backups to a different physical drive.
Clear boundary
What this feature does not promise
Drive identity and readiness checks reduce destination mistakes but do not certify hardware health. Review Drive Check history and keep another copy of irreplaceable data.
Selected-file protection
See how the complete backup workflow fits together.
Review supported destinations, system requirements, verification, recovery checks, and the limits of file-and-folder backup before deciding whether it fits your needs.
