names of back-ups

Thread needs solution

So far, in my back-up directory, I have file names like S40, System_C_3_21_2011, and System_C_3_21_20112.

The second two appear to be dates, but what is "20112" ?

20112 is 2011 with a 2 concatenated: this is your first partial after your full.

Since ATI adds some numbers to the file name to indicate a new partial backup, don't let your file names finish by a number. That will end up confusing ATI.
Also, from my experience with 2011, don't use @date@ and @time@ tags. There are cases where ATI loses the notion of active tag and replaces it with the actual @date@ chain, or doesn't update the tag.
