Naming backups

Thread needs solution

I want to create two separate backups to two separate remote drives.  Acronis gives these backups the same name (ST1000DM003-1ER162).  Can I rename these to something relevant to me?

Bosso, welcome to these user forums.

Yes, you should be able to rename your backup to whatever name you want them to have, not just accept the name that Acronis gives the task.

 

Bosso, as Steve mentioned, you can rename them. You should set the name before moving to anything else.  However, there is a dropdown at the end of the name via a \/ "carrot" with a "rename" option as well.

If you already have backups with the original / default name (One you didn't change, but have already started using)... after renaming, the backup will start a new full again using the new name.  The previous backup with the old name, will retain the old name.
