Backup Naming QUestion
Sorry, If this question has been answered. I found a few discussion, but I don't think the answers I have found fully address my question.
I upgraded 2 Lenovo laptop HHDs to SSD using Acronis Home 2018 full disk backup. I made a full backup of the upgraded system right after updating Windows, no apps. I created a 2nd back-up after I installed my usual selection of apps, no data.
I saved the 2 backups on an external usb HDD in separate folders since Acronis gave both files the same name. My questions are: 1. Will Acronis restore either file if I select it? 2. Can I rename the files to indicate which is factory default and which has apps installed?
For the file: PC1_full_b1_s1_v1.tib, I would just change the PC1 part. Or, if Acronis will restore either file, I just need to keep in separate folders so I know which is which.
I am not planning to have Acrons perform incremental backups. I have another scheme to keep my data backed up. I want to maintain both files in case of a complete SDD failure.
Thanks,
Roger

Thanks much Steve. That is what I thought, but wen I need to recover a laptop is not the time to find out it won't work.
