Manual cleanup not avaiable from tasks created with 2020beta or ATI 2019

Thread needs solution

As I was using the ATI 2020 beta, I save backup task settings, and then deleted ATI 2020 (I did not run the cleanup utility). Installed ATI 2020, then imported backup tasks. Just noticed that for none of the imported tasks is it possible to do manual cleanup. Could be just a corrupt installation; with try repair installation. The problem does not seem to apply if a old backup is added manually.

For those yet to upgrade there should be no issue when doing an in-place upgrade.

Ian, I decided against uninstalling the ATI 2020 Beta and did an in-place upgrade to the final release version 20600 instead.  I have the Clean up versions option for all of my tasks where these were all created during the beta, so this issue looks to be related to exporting / re-importing task settings.

I do see a different issue with the Clean up versions tool that I will raise as a separate topic!

I did a little more investigation and it appears that you have to validate an "imported" backup before all of the options appear - this is something that has not happened previously (although difficult to tell as ATI did a pre-scan and imported backups it found). Still, many users would find this disconcerting.
