List of backups

Thread needs solution

Where is the file containing the backup list stored? I restored my system from a backup and now all by backups say "not backed up" I want to replace the file that stores the list with one from a prior backup. Would appreciate any assistance. Thanks

I don't know that there is such a list.

That "not backed up" is the program indicating there has been no scheduled backups completed.

Any task that is currently being backed up either by schedule or manually is listed in the "scripts" folder.

Any task marked not backed up yet (if not active) can be individually deleted by the "remove from list" option within each task.
Or ALL tasks can be removed globally via this illustration.

I have about 20 backups on 4 different drives. They were all normal and up to date. I restored my system to an earlier version due to other problems. When I opened TI all my backups were marked "not backed up". How can I get them back to normal? Thanks

I understand what you are saying. The program searched your computer and placed those a listing of your bacup files there. This is problem with the program putting the listing there. There is nothing wrong with your files themselves.

To clear this unwnated and unneeded listing of backup files, you need to do this to each listing.

Put the mouse pointer inside each of the tasks and RIGHT CLICK
or click on the Gear wheel in upper right corner of each task.

the option window will open
and click on "MORE"
Click on remove from listing.
After a few seconds activity, the listing will disappear.

Allow a few seconds for completion and then repeat on a different task and continue this process until all gone.

Note: if you you plan to delete each and every task listed, there is bulk removal as mentioned in my prior posting. If you use this option, you would need to recreate any backup task where backups are needed to be created either manually or via schedule.

If I am not understanding you correctly, it would help if you post a picture of what you need to change.
