[Feature Request] Need to name .tib files with date and time

Thread needs solution

In TI2014 it was easy and possible to add @date@ and @time@ in the UI to get the date and time in the resulting .tib file.

In TI2016 this is impossible to do from within the UI. I can go in manually to C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts and edit the backup script file and add those same parameters, but this should not be necessary year 2015. In 1995 it was cool to edit scripts, ini files and bat files manually but year 2015 it should not be needed in TI2016.

Let´s say that you have four backup jobs in TI2016 and want to add date and time to one (1) of them. In C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts you will find four files that don´t reflect the name of any backup job you have, so you have to manually find out wich one you should edit. (See the attached image for the four cryptical file names on the scripts.)

I agree with your request for the feature to be added to the GUI.

Usually, you can use the date and time of the script file for guidance as to which file to open.

In your attachment, if you open each script using notepad by simply clicking the crypic name,
the script file will open into notepad and the name of the backup task will be listed near the beginning of the file.

Save any changes you make.
I realize this is not the preferred method but until Acronnis adds your feature request,
this is the ony way I know of getting the macros as part of the tib backup name.

Interestingly the boot media created using the Media Builder includes this functionality, at least my copy does. Go figure why it is not a part of the GUI installed application.

Hello Everyone,
feature request has been logged in our database, however, we'll have to wait for development's decision.
Thank you!

Thank you Anna! :)

I would very much welcome that because I prefer separate full backups. And I'm used to it by different old Acronis Software.

Hi Anna

could you log in WinPE 32 rescue media bit support as well? :-)
