Why doesn't Acronis follow its backup naming convention?
From what I understand from the Acronis Help file and elsewhere, a partition backup task named "C-Image" should create a file named C-Image_full_b1_s1.tib. However when I ran the backup, Acronis instead named the file Boot-150_(C)_full_b1_s1_v1.tib. (Boot-150 is the name I gave to the partition I'm backing up, which Windows deems to be the C: drive.) Can anyone explain why it did this? Thanks.

The backup task has a name, and the file that it creates has a name. They can be different from each other. When doing a partition backup, Acronis will use the partition name as the backup file name by default.
While creating a new task, when you select the backup location, you should use browse to point to the backup destination folder. While doing this, you can specify the file name you wish to use. Once the destination selection (and file name) is selected, you can then name the backup task either to match the file name or have a completely different name for your task.
Editing the task name does not change the destination file name.
http://forum.acronis.com/forum/28705 figures 6, 7, 8, and 9 show how to create a backup with a custom destination file name.

Thanks, Colin & James. I followed James' instructions successfully. Colin, I agree the user guide needs to be corrected/clarified.
