Rename backup file in Acronis True Image 2013 - Windows 7/64-bit/SP1

Thread needs solution

How do I rename a backup file in TI 2013? I tried 'Backup and recover -> Browse for backup' and right clicking on the file but get no option to rename or move. Where do I find this function?

Move option:
Place mouse pointer inside the backup task and
either click the cog wheel extreme right
or right click on any area.
An options window will open where you can select the More option and the Move option becomes available.
Move option also covered in help file and user guide.
--------------------------
There is no opiton assigned to a rename procedure.

My comments are: editing a task often causes later problem so I discourage editing.
To change the task name, this can be done via the editing of backup settings.
To change the name of the backup file, this can only be done via Windows Explorer, and the result will be tht the backup task will either fail or start over. I would suggest that if you change the name of an actual backup file, you stop using the old task and create a new task pointing to a new empty folder or sub-folder. I discourage the mixing of backup files into one folder.

Okay Grover - Thanks. I'll try the move feature.
