Custom scheme name save as ... disappeared. W8 Acronis-TI 2014, build 6683

Thread needs solution

Environment: Window 8.1, Acronis-TI 2014 build 6683.

When saving a custom scheme with your own name, this name disappears (after some time).

When naming a scheme, saving this and saving/closing the schedule, and returning to the schedule (before even closing Acronis-TI, the specific name is already not shown in the schedule anymore, but called Custom.

The specific scheme name is still in the (pull down) list of Save As (scheme). However this name is completely lost after some time. I have had this now 3 times.

I can read in (older) former Forum Topics that this effect is already there for a number of versions.

Is there a work around for it, to solve this?

Thanks for your support.

Right or wrong, what you are seeing is what I have understood to be the current design of the program. This loss of custom name to be simply "custom" has been discussed in prior postings.

After the initia double save of the custom name and the save of the task,
all references to the user created custom name is dropped and all references to that custom name read simply "custom."
The user assigned custom name still exists under the custom options so the custom name is available for re-use.

A re-edit of the task shows the name of the task to be "custom" but the actual backup scheme settings is the same as the original custom name.

If the actual name of the custom scheme is important, it is possible to save the name in the comments section. This is an extra step but is a possibility.

GroverH.

It could be that this is the present design to work this way.

However I am loosing (due to unpredictable time or reason) my user assigned custom name from the list.
And that is not as it should be. This has occurred several times already.
