Can no longer add backups

Thread needs solution

When I open TI2015, the only backup job showing is "Entire PC." I want to split this into two separate backup jobs: (C) System, for OS and programs, and (D) Documents for all our data. I can create both these jobs, save them for later, then close the program. When I reopen it, "Entire PC" is the only job showing again. This worked fine until last week. We have TI2015 installed on another computer, and it works fine using exactly the same steps. I'm ready to uninstall from this computer and reinstall it. If I do this, will it use up the last of our three licenses? How can I install it without paying for it again? Is there a "repair" feature that I can use.
Thanks!

When you get this message, it is indicating the program is waiting for you to perform one additional step which is to "save" your task configuration.

As for your "queued" problem.
Check in your scheduling window and make sure the option
"Run only when not busy" ( or something to that effect)
is NOT checked. Check all your settings on that same screen to make sure they are set to what you want.

A reinstall should not be necessary as your issues sounds like a user settings issue.
You can also rerun the install program and a repair opiton should be offered using your same prior installed license.

Depending upon the type of backup scheme you wish to create, here is an example of each type. These can be set up for Disk image, or Partiton, or Files-folders backups. These example show how to set up automatic cleanup so the program will do the deletion after it reaches your set goal of how many chains to retain.

Editing an existing task is not recommended. Rarely does an edited task perform to user expectations. It is usually better to start with a new task using a new non-identical task name and point to a new storage sub-folder so each task has it own storage folder/sub-folder. Old task can be stopped or deleted from the task listings.

GH11. Create Custom Full Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup....Store/Keep 4 versions (chains). Use whatever number best fits the individual needs..

GH13. Create Custom Differential Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 2 Diff per chain. Store/Keep 2 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.

GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 6 Inc per chain. Store/Keep 4 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.
