Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: Database for external drive with random letter

I have a separate instance of Everything that I only run when I want to search(even when the drive is not connected)or update that database
Now for some reason windows decide to assign the backup drive to "G" instead of "F" even tho there was no other drive connected nor anything was assigned to drive F

This screenshot shows my drives when the backup drive is already disconnected

This is the shortcut
C:\Tools\Everything\Everything.exe -folders-sidebar -instance Backup -db Backup.db -no-auto-include -config Backup.ini
The ini is already configured to include on that drive

I want this database to never include anything other than that drive and only update it when I run that instance while the drive is connected
