USB drive letters
#3
That was my conclusion as well.

With Macrium I was able to "Diskpart" the disk UNIQUEID so that I had a set of 3 drives
that I could rotate and fool Macrium into using any one of the 3 in rotation.

Tried that with Hasleo without success so far. So Hasleo may indeed be using the full GUID.

Do you have any suggestions for disk rotation.

One solution would be to create an identical backup setup for each drive
and then count on the operator to call the correct one to match the drive.
If they picked to wrong one they would just get an error message so easy
to fix and pick the right one.  See edits below for a working solution.

Edit:
  I did have success with the UNIQUEID trick using full external USB drives.
  Using memory sticks with the UNIQUEID trick does not seem to work
  I'll keep trying with the USB sticks

Edit2:
  With fresh USB sticks I was able to set both sticks to the same UNIQUEID
  and used the sticks interchangeably  with the same Hasleo backup config

Conclusion:
  I can rotate the backup media and also not worry about drive letters.
