Hi,

wild guess : your USB disks are mounted on /DISK_A and /DISK_B (or
/whatever/DISK_?) for clarity and discrimination, perhaps even using
PARTLABEL or LABEL instead of UUID or PARTUUID.

If you don't have a gazillion yottabyte to backup, the fastest way to
solve this is to recreate a fresh backup from scratch.

This is often the best solution when something went wrong to avoid
losing hours or days of researches - there's of course a risk, but as
far as SMART and dmesg do not show anything bad, it stays small.
