Valery, see the ATI 2021 User Guide: Backup file naming which explains why you are seeing the names for your backup files.

If you are creating a new backup, and there is already a file with the same name, the program does not delete the old file, but adds to the new file the "-number" suffix, for example, my_documents_inc_b2_s2_v1-2.tib.

Dear Steve,

Thank you very much. I tried, as usually, to find an answer by myself, but, probably, did not mention this article and especially the last sentence

"Great minds think alike" (a joke, I'm not a great mid), so before I got your answer, I cleaned all previous backups, and a new backup, created yesterday evening, was already without "-2" suffix.

One more time, how stupid I am... :-(

Good health and all the best!

Valery
