Renaming backup does't display in Windows Explorer, ATI 2018

Thread needs solution

I created a full backup in ATI 2018 & can't rename the file in Windows Explorer, I get a permission error: "you need to provide admin permission to rename this folder."

Renaming the backup within ATI 2018 doesn't change the name in windows explorer.

Is there a way to change the name within ATI & windows explorer?

Stella, the permission error is simply down to Acronis Active Protection which prevents changes to any .tib files.  You would need to turn off AAP temporarily if wanting to rename files via Explorer.

Any rename for the backup task in the ATI GUI only takes place when you create a new backup with that task, it does not rename any existing files.

Please be aware that you may see errors for the backup task if you rename files via Explorer because ATI keeps a record of the files it has created in an internal database, so you may get an error for 'file not found' or similar.
