TI 2012 backup file names

Thread needs solution

I don't understand the logic of the TI 2012's backup file naming in the attached snapshot showing a full backup and 3 subsequent incremental backups. Anyone?

From the look of these files, ATi is seriously confused with the backup chain.

Normally, ATI names the backups the following way: a full is "Backup" or "Backup(1)" or "Backup(2), etc.
The first partial starts with a name like this Backup2, or Backup(1)2, or Backup(2)2, then Backup3, etc.
Delete your task, your TIB files and create a new task.
Avoid editing a backup task too much. Although the product theoritically supports changing the backup name, scheme, destination or retention rules, it is highly recommended to set up a new task when you want to do that.
