About using unique names for external drives
Symantec System Recovery lets you assign unique names to external drives when
you use them as a backup destination or an Offsite Copy destination. Assigning
unique names helps you to manage these destinations and avoid confusion if you
use more than one drive. It is especially helpful when the assigned drive letter
changes each time you plug in the drive.
Note: Using a unique name does not change the drive label. The unique name is
used only when you access a drive from within Symantec System Recovery.
For example, you might swap out two different external drives that are used as
Offsite Copy destinations during any given week. It would be difficult to identify
which drive your use at any given time based on the drive labels. It becomes more
confusing if the previously assigned drive letter has changed.
