TI 2010 Backup consolidation operation
How is backup consolidation supposed to function in True Image 2010? The help does not make this behavior clear, only on how consolidation is triggered based on the various options.
I ask because I set automatic consolidation if number of backups exceed 4 and my backup plan is set to incremental. I've noticed that the system took 5 backups (first was full then 4 incremental), but starting after Backup5, I have a string of characters. So it looks like:
Backup5
Backup5-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Backup6
etc.
Can someone explain
1.) How this consolidation is supposed to work and
2.) Why does it not appear to be working
True Image 2010 (7046)
Windows 7 x64

Thanks for the reply. While I'm not absolutely certain with every instance, I believe the backup operation completed successfully on most. The backup target disk has plenty of free space. Does the program perform any of these consolidations after the task says it completed successfully? I found and am reading the user guide and understand the intended operation but still can't see why these operations aren't completing how it was setup.

The consolidation works before the backup is run.
Try running a manual consolidation. to do that you need to click on Recover and then select the archive.
