Backup name MyBack.tib despite naming the backup

Thread needs solution

I created a backup and gave it a name which allows me to identify which drives were backed up; however, it (TIH2011) seems to ignore my created name and just calls it MyBackup. I just updated to Update 3, Build 6942--it was not a problem prior to this. Not sure what to do, since I did assign another name to the backup when I set it up.

A couple of things you can try. One is to edit the task and see what name shows. Edit and save, then edit to double check and exit without saving. FI the name was there the second time, you should be okay.
The other is to just delete the existing task and make a new one. This should clear out the registry entries and the database entries related to the task.

If the problem persists, you might want to contact tech.

A custom task name can only be assigned via the select target destination and have the target folder present and assign the full name and path as illustrated in this example. Once inside the target folder, you can assign any name you wish except you need to avoid using parenthesis or periods, etc.
