How to edit tasks correctly?
TI Home 2009, Build 9769, German version, Windows XP.
I have a problem that should be simple, but I don't get it working:
Suppose I have a scheduled backup task XYZ, which creates incremental backups. It ran two times, so I have a full backup with file XYZ.tib, and an icremental backup with file XYZ2.tib. In the backup list of TI I see my backup XYZ which consists of the two files mentioned.
Now I want to edit the task to change some parameters (e.g. execution time). What I simply want is that I can change the parameters, save the task and the next time it is running its going on as if nothing happened. So what I expect is a third file XYZ3.tib, and this third file also mentioned under my Backup XYZ in TI - but that's the thing I didn't get up to now.
The problem seems to arise from the task planning page where I define the filename for my backup. There I can decide If I want to create a new backup or if I want to add to an existing backup. I suppose that this is what I want. So I choose backup name XYZ. The backup file I have to enter is prefilled with XYZ3.tib. I can't enter XYZ.tib here, because it complains that the file already exists.
Now, what happens when I save and run the task? Ok, I get a third file XYZ3.tib (as expected), but in the TI Backup list I get a backup XYZ3, which consists of incremental file XYZ3.tib. The original backup XYZ still consists of the two backups XYZ.tib and XYZ2.tib.
Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
Many thanks,
Thorsten
