Backup and recovery tab

Thread needs solution

TI Home 2012: Are the backup names in the Backup and Recovery tab the same as the backup file? Also, one of the backups only has a "recover" button but no "back up now" button. How can I run the backup?

The names of the actual backup files will be those seen in the storage folder and may well differ from the task name shown on the main screen or in the recovery screen.

Inside the main menu task is also a location button which will open the storage folder for examination.

If the task does not have a "Backup now" option, then no backups can be added to that particular file.
You will need to create a new task covering the same items which needs new backups.

Thanks for the tip. I created a new task. But tell me, why causes the condition that there be no backups for a particular file?

I would believe the backup files were not created by the existing installation. Perhaps you upgraded from the version which created the task; or you may have used a "delete all task " option when changing the "Scan for backup" settings; or you may have restored your system.

All in all, these are only possibilities or guesses on my part.
