I have a 6 TB backup, and have upgraded my computer since making the backups. Now FreeFileSync doesn't recognize my backups. Do I need to remake my backups, or can I keep them and somehow tell FreeFileSync the path on the new computer?

If the specification of your left and/or right FFS base-location uses drive-letters, and if those drive-letters have changed due to the upgrade, you obviously need to modify the FFS configuration from the old into the new drive letters.
