Hello:

I have set TI to back up an image of the C drive each night. I set TI to do a full backup, and a maximum of 4 backups, after which the earliest backup would be deleted.

TI backed up an image first night. The second night, it discovered that there was not enough space on the backup drive (external hard drive) to back up, so no backup was made. I can appreciate that.

I deleted stuff on the backup drive, so there was now enough space. A new backup was made the next night. BUT, this backup replaced the latest backup (that is, the latest backup was deleted). This has happened a lot of times. I am now tired of this. Why the heck can TI not back up the way I have set it to do? If one time, a backup cannot be done, but later, the backup can be done, why is the latest existing backup overwritten???? Why can TI simply not just add another backup as I have asked it to do???

Grateful for a clarification of this.

Best regards,

Hans L

And now, at about 2:50 pm EST, TI is running a backup. Who asked it to do this? Its as if it cannot differentiate between am and pm.

I can now see how overwriting occurred. When you want to edit, you are asked (and I will never understand why) if you want to overwrite the latest backup file. I have probably responded with "OK" instead of "Cancel". Why not "Yes" or "No" (are these words out of style?)?

Any help or comments on this?

Regards,

Hans L
