Rename & Move Archive

Thread needs solution

I purchased ATI 2010, and put my archives in the folders I nominate, and give them the names I wanted.

Now that I have just installed W8, I have switched to ATI 2013, and find I can't so this. The problem is that it gives my archive the name Local Disk (C). That doesn't tell me whether it is C: drive on my desktop, Laptop, or my daughter's machine (all archives are stored in the same partition on an external disk - a different partition keeps user file archives). Nor can I move the archive to a folder labelled desktop or laptop as the case may be.

From what I read in earlier posts ATI2013 seems not to allow this - is there any work around?

When you make the task, enter the drive and path name that you want.

Thanks Colin,
I missed the box at the bottom that allows me to insert a custom name for the archive.
That does half what I wanted, which is sufficient.
That box allows me to nominate the name, but not the path. On my setup ATI defaults to I:\My Backups, I can choose F:\My backups & rename the archive, but would have preferred to put it in F:\OS backup\W8 to separate it from my user file backups, and from backups of other computers running W7 or etc. But the archive name won't accept "\" or ":", so I cannot nominate a path, ie ATI2013 is less flexible than 2010.

You can select the folder in which you want to backup. See here:
