Acronis rejects my name for backups

Thread needs solution

I like to name my backups something meaningful to me. Especially as I back up two or more different computers to the same USB external drive. I type in the name I want for the backup, however Acronis goes ahead and names it Mypartions or something like that. What am I doing wrong? Why does it insist on its own name?

At the time you create the backup task, you can assign a name for the backup. When you browse to set the backup location, assign a name for the backup. After that point, assigning or changing a name just sets the name of the backup task, not of the backup file.

Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots. I know Grover has a tutorial showing screenshots of the point when backup file naming is possible.
