TI Home 2009: Backup file naming convention?
I created a nightly backup task, selecting the suggested "Incremental" method which first creates a full backup and then creates incremental backups based on it. I also chose to create a new full backup after 6 incremental backups and to remove the old archives, so I'd always have one week's worth of backups saved.
When creating a nightly scheduled backup task for the first time, the GUI suggests a file name of "MyBackup.tib" for the first full backup. As the task is run each night, the incremental backup files are then called MyBackup2.tib, MyBackup3.tib, etc. until it has the 6 incremental backups and then starts over with a new full backup.
However, at this point, it chose to call the new full backup MyBackup8.tib and the subsequent incremental backups are called MyBackup82, MyBackup83, etc.
Presumably at the end of this sequence, the next full backup will be called MyBackup88.tib, and the subsequent incremental backups will be called MyBackup882, MyBackup883, etc.
This suggests that after a while, I'm going to have some really long, really silly filenames attached to my backup archives, and might even exceed the maximum length of a legal Windows filename after a while.
Am I interpreting this correctly?
Is there some setting in the task config that will avoid this naming situation?
