Drive number changes after reboot

I am running Image For Windows from the generated command it gave me that I have put into a batch file, but the parameter /d:w0 appears to sometimes need to change after reboot.

So the command right now is:
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\imagew64.exe" /b /d:w0 /f:"z:\diskripper-c-drive-full-Backup-$~YYYY$-$~MM$"
It should be:
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\imagew64.exe" /b /d:w1 /f:"z:\diskripper-c-drive-full-Backup-$~YYYY$-$~MM$"

However, I don't know this unless something goes wonky with the backup, like in this case it was trying to backup the 8tb external drive to itself.

Is there another way to specify which drive i would like to backup, or some other way to tackle this issue?

Please advise,
Scott

Scott,

Easy. In IFW, Settings, General tab. Output Disk ID to Command Line.

Now generate your batch file.

Looks like I've been too slow to answer! I've discovered that function 2 days ago, and it's really a great tool to have.
