I have SyncBackSE set to backup files to an external drive, G. If I have other external devices connected during the day, they will use the letter G and maybe H and I. Sometimes, ejecting the devices doesn't give me the G back, so I can't do a backup without restarting the computer.
I'll go to Disk Management to change the drive letter, and my choices will be A, B, K, L, etc. Is there a simple way to get back a missing letter, rather than restarting the computer?
This is not a solution to your drive letter issue, but it may be a workaround. I have 4 powered externals for my backups. Years ago, purchased two powered USB hubs. There are 7 slots on each. I leave all my USB connected devices, including the 4 externals in their slots. My drives letters never change. Of course there is a cost factor for the kdlinks hubs.
Good luck on finding a solution, providing one exists.
