USB Drive Letter - Keeps Changing?

Asked by MarkMichael in Removable Backup Media, Computer Hard Drives

Hi Experts!

This is the situation
Got a set of USB drives for backup with ntbackup.
Attached each drive to the server one by one, Monday throught Friday, the drive letter was chosen from 'Disk Management' as Z:
SBS Backs up to Z:

A few weeks go by and all is fine.

During a more recent week, I attached the 'Tuesday' USB drive while the Monday drive was still attached. This then gave the Tuesday drive the drive letter F:

However, now, If i attach Tuesday on its own it always comes up with the default letter of F:
To get it to work with my backup, I gotta keep changing it to Z: every Tuesday morning after I attach the drive. (This is a major annoyance!)

Anyone know how to set the letter as a more permanent mapping?
