How to rename .tib output files?
I would like to change the names of .tib output files of *future* ATI 2018 back up runs of my existing scheduled backups. Of course, I want to make sure that ATI recognizes the new names should I need to restore, etc.
I read that that this could be done with the Move function, but I'm not clear on this.
If correct, please tell me what I enter beyond the directory/sub-directory/ location shown under Move. Do I just enter the new file name and the program would replace the existing name with the new name?
Thank you,
Jordan

Thanks, Steve. I saw the Rename option, but somehow it didn't click. The reason: way back, when I set up these scheduled backups, I believe there was an option to name them and add (via formula) the date or any other text to the name. I don't see that option any more... and my Current name displays as, for example: C_
So, if I have a longer than desired name, say, C_@date_bla-bla... and, let's say I wanted to retain the date option but not the bla-bla... Would I just name it C_@date ? Is @date the correct syntax?
Thank you,
Jordan

Jordan, see forum topic: Customize the tib.tis file, unable to save in TI 2018 - where this shows how to customise the backup name(s) to include such as date etc.
You cannot include any special characters such as @ in the task name in the GUI, so this has to be done directly in the underlying script .tib.tis file instead.
