Solution
(!) The ability to edit a backup task with unavailable backup location has been implemented and is available in the latest build of Acronis True Image Home 2012.
For older builds please see below:
If you have a card reader, please make sure there is a memory card in the device. If not, please put it in.
If this is a flash drive or a USB disk, please make sure it is accessible - e.g. try opening it from Windows.
If you do not need the backup anymore, you can remove it from the list by clicking Remove from the list:
Alternatively, if the letter of the disk where you keep the backup has changed, you can change it back to the original one. Please see Windows: Changing an Assigned Drive Letter.
