True Image 2015 backup settings won't save
I'm trying to edit my backup settings and am unable to get the settings to save. I'm trying to change the "Create a full version after every X incremental versions" option and turn on automatic cleanup, but these settings will not save. The backup is set to backup later and I'm clicking "OK" --> "Save", but nothing is saved.
I've installed the latest version of ATI 2015 for Windows 10, I'm running ATI as administrator, and ATI has write permissions to "C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts" (I know this because creating a new job creates a new script here). I've also tried creating a new job from scratch, as well as saving the settings in a scheme and then selecting that scheme, but nothing works.
EDIT:
As I was writing this, I found a strange workaround. I had the job script open in Notepad++ to check if my settings changes in the GUI were actually affecting anything when Notepad++ asked to reload the file. When I clicked yes, I saw the settings were updated - going back into the settings GUI, the settings are indeed updated there too.
Maybe this is a coincidence, or maybe a weird issue where ATI was failing to update the file until Notepad++ reloaded it. Worth a try if anyone else is having this issue.
You could also try editing the script directly. A little reverse engineering reveals that "rotation_count" is the number of version between each full backup and <quota capacity="###" scheme_flags="##" type="#" /> sets a size limit for the backup.
