Rename existing backup
There doesn't seem to be a simple Rename function for existing backups. When using "recreate backup settings" the name changes but it uses the default drive on the computer at the time. These backups are from another computer and the original drive is not a choice. Is there a simple remame the backup in the backup list that I'm not aware of ? Thanks

OK. I've tried using the "Move" option and changing the name in the window where you select the destination but the new name is ignored and it simply moves the files with their original name? I thought it would allow changing the name with the move?

Yes, I tried the Move feature of 2013 and I also found the lack of renaming disconcerting and dangerous. The Move function doesn't rename the moved files, but new backups will take the new name.
