Backup File Naming
I am evaluating TIH 2013 as a replacement for TIH 2010. I have a batch file, called as a pre-processing file, that maintains generations of backups as I desire. (I use my own batch file rather than Chain2Gen.)
I do full backups only. In TIH 2010, when I named a file "XYZ_CE_Daily", the backup file as named "XYZ_CE_Daily.tib". Older backups are named "XYZ_CE_Daily-001.tib", "XYZ_CE_Daily-002.tib" etc by a pre-processing command file.
In 2013, the file is apparently named "XYZ_CE_Daily_full_b1_s1_v1.tib" even though I have set TIH "backup scheme" to "single version scheme." This change in naming breaks my batch files, so I need to determine how to work around this, or get TIH 2013 not to add those strings to the file name.
Even if I rename the file after the backup completes, the next backup will be ...full_b2_....tib.
Is there any way to get TIH 2013 not to add the "_full...." suffix to file names?
Will there be any problem if I rename the tib file to XYZ_CE_Daily.tib in a post-processing command file?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Where do you put the filename?
I see the backup name in the options box under destination, but my "test" backup always saves the filename as "win8" plus those default b/s/v items. I too don't like the b/s/v added to the filename. It too is screwing me up.
All I need is Win8_2012_11_10.tib Win8_2012_11_11.tib Win8_2012_11_12.tib etc. I personally know what I'm doing. I know what's in the file and if its a full of diff. I would think if you were doing a single / simple backup, this option for filename would get turned off.
You may assign a name to be used as the first part of the backup's filename when you are seleting the destination. Once you're past that stage in task creation, you can't change what filename will be assigned. The backup name area in the backup panel is actually to name the task, rather than the backup file.
Well, that couldn't be simpler ... Duh!.
LOL. Sure, many things are simple once you know how. ;)
