The IDrive application uses the Computer name, Hard Disk information and IP address to identify the computer being backed up. Operating system installation / replacement of hard disk or change of computer may also cause the mapping to be lost. If this is the case for your machine, then click on Menu > Tools> Destination PC. This will set your new computer as the destination PC.
