Hi there, I got here, because I want to address external HDD with robocopy not via the drive letter, but the serial number or any other unique identifier... I read Pathcopy could do so. Not too sure, if this info was wrong or me doing it wrong?

Unfortunately no, there is no such feature in Path Copy Copy at the moment. One way I could think of doing this would be to craft a custom command with a series of hardcoded find/replace elements, each replacing a letter of one of your drives with its unique identifier. If you have a fixed set of drives and know their identifiers in advance, that could work.
