How to change the default destination in TI 2013

Thread needs solution

I have just converted from TI 2010 to 2013.

So far so good!

But I have one small problem. Under 2010 when I create a new Full backup the destination comes up with the location as X:\My Backups\Primary. I have backed up to that location for years and want to continue the practice. Under 2013 the destination shows only as X:\my backups and I have to bore down to add the Primaryto the destination. Is there any way I can change the default destination to X:\My Backups\Primary so that I can avoid the bore down step?

Thank you.

No. Once the task is created the backup destination "sticks" for that task only. In addition, if you have more than one task, it is good practice to have each task have it's own destination folder. ie: X:\My Backups\Primary, X:\My Backups\Task1, X:\My Backups\Task2, etc. with whatever folder names you wish.

Thank you very much. That fits with my experience so I will just adjust to it and like it :)

Thanks again.

The 2013 version is greatly different as compared to the 2010 version. I believe you would benefit by reviewing the items covered in the attached link. Note particularly figure #8 which illustrates that you can include your own - or _ as separators for better readability of the name. Also illustrates that you can create any folder you wish as the destination folder but this custom choice must be made for each task as the default cannot be changed but can be overridden.
