Acronis 2020 backup filename issues
Hi,
Can someone please explain to me why, when I boot from either the Acronis 2020 Bootable Rescue Media USB memory stick or from the Acronis 2020 F11 Boot Recovery Environment, why the filenames I specify for Full backups are not actually used for the created files? Except occasionally they are...
Allow me to explain: Having booted from either of the above methods with a view to creating an entire ("Full" not incremental) backup of my internal hard drive (apart from the ASZ of course), I specify to save the image in either the ASZ or directly to my USB stick and enter the filename I want (eg "GPT-Base"). I then select the other options such as max compression, verify backup, add comment, etc and that the file type field is set to "*.tibx; *.tib", and then the backup process starts. After a successful completion, I then reboot the PC to check the files and how much space they've used, etc, only to find that instead of being named "GPT-Base", "GPT-Base-001" and so on, they're either named "AA1" or "AAA1" and then the 001, 002, etc.
This occurs 99% of the time when I create images this way, but every so often it will then create one with the filename that I specify, but usually in those cases the imaging process fails for some reason halfway through.
Both the ASZ and my memory stick are formatted as FAT32 and have more than enough storage space for the image to be created. The USB stick was created in Windows 10 using the Acronis 2020 tool, which I then used to create the ASZ and BRE.
I'm not so bothered about the backup failing part (I've usually identified why myself) but the filename issue is really annoying.
Thanks for the response, but this still doesn't answer the question. 'Full' disk backups with multiple parts created using the Windows client have the file naming convention as "My-Backup-001.tibx", "My-Backup-002.tibx", etc, but if creating 'Full' disk backups having booted the PC from either the Boot Recovery Environment or an Acronis bootable USB stick, whatever filename I specify is just ignored, and backups with multiple parts are named "AA1.tibx", "AA2.tibx", etc. In both scenarios the backup location is a newly created empty folder on the Acronis bootable USB stick. If I create a second, unrelated Full backup in the same folder as an existing Full backup called "AA1.tibx" then the second backup file parts are called AAA1.tibx", "AAA2.tibx", etc. It doesn't matter whether the PC being backed up is configured using Legacy MBR mode or UEFI GPT mode, the results are as above.
Sorry but I have never had any issues with backup file naming using either the Windows ATI application or doing the same from the bootable rescue media. The name used has always been the one I have chosen.
