True Image Home 2012 makes new file name

Thread needs solution

I have tried seting this up several times. I have it set up to back up my entire system every night over the network to a shared removable hard drive. I change out the hard drive and reshare everyday. I have the back up scheme set to Single version. My backup name is My_partitions

Well all of the sudden it just puts like a GUID on the end of the file that it makes and it doesn't overwrite that file either. It keeps making a new one.

How can I fix this?

If you are referring to a name such as My_partitions_b1_s2_v1
This is the new naming system for 2012 and 2013. There is no option to not use this format--at least no option currently to avoid using it.

If using a different target for each day, you will get a full every day without overwrite as the backup task is looking for the same disk that was in use on the day the task was created--ie target disk signature.
