all comments regarding the absent Rename feature were added as votes to the respective implementation task, thank you! The product team will review the feedback and prioritize the development accordingly.
Well, I have bought Acronis True Image 2021 and the rename fonction is there but after I create the first backup If I rename this backup the name will change on the left panel but next time the backup run then everything is screwed.
If this function is only to rename the backup name before the first backup. Why not just grayed out the option after the first backup is done.
Or best just make this option working. Seems easy to just rename the backup files to match the backup names after we rename it.
Well, I just bought this software and it's still full of bugs...

From the ATI 2021 User Guide:
The backup operations menu can contain the following items:
- Rename (not available for backups to Acronis Cloud) - allows you to set a new name for a backup in the list. The backup files will not be renamed.
One of the reasons for the above limitation is simply that Acronis tracks the files created in an internal SQL database and in metadata. The Rename option only applies to future files that are created which will have the changed name, not existing files created with the original name.
