Delete the backup job, restart your machine, then recreate the job. Move the existing recovery points into a new folder before creating the new job.

Hi
Thanks for the help, this was just what i did. Do you have any idea what could cause this type of thing?

It's possible that something on the drive changed, such as a drive letter. Obviously that or some other association changed, most likely when they drive was removed from the USB port and plugged back in, or some other USB device plugged in. Regardless, if it happens again, we can try to delete the off-site settings in the job rather than the job itself and see if we can drill down a little more into why this happened.
