How to resynch Schedule block's VERSIONS Counter - e.g. TIH-2014 and later
Hi,
I have been putting up with this hassle for many years and several ATIH updates - and would finally appreciate some guidance.
I use a common single external backup drive among all my house PC's. Works fine. But sometimes the VERSIONS COUNTER suddenly only remembers its last few backups - the backup folder still has the other backups.
Maybe this happens when I updated the backup schedule's SETTINGS and clicked on the SAVE button. After that, ATIH assumed it was a brand new Schedule and started counting from there. Indeed, it shows NO BACKUPS after doing an edit on that schedule block.
So ... is there some procedure, after an edit and SAVE, for that block to still remember the previous backups? Otherwise, ATIH just starts adding another (extra) set of backup cycles counts, rather than resuming recycling the original set. This just wastes extra backup disk space, since the older backups in that block are now ignored and NOT deleted as the cycle wraps around back to the first file.
The only other way is to completely ERASE the ATIH "ini-file" (?) - and do a "Search for backups & Re-create" option for every backup, on every PC that has files on the common shared backup drive. Real HASSLE, since the Re-created block NAME then has all the junk appended to these backup names, rather than the original block name.
I would really like Acronis to fix this bug - or is the "Schedule SAVE" command just too dangerous?
