When should you refresh AOMEI Backupper?

When you start AOMEI Backupper, it will first load your current disk configuration information and then record the information. The disk configuration information only refers to the layout of your disks and partitions, but has nothing to do with data changes.

Before you perform any backup operations, if the disk configuration doesn't match the records, you may be unable to start backing up data, as the disk or partition that you want to manage has been changed.

For example, when you connect or disconnect an external hard drive that relates to your operation, you have to refresh this program. Otherwise, you may receive errors like the program cannot find the disk or partitions.
