Changing name of previous backups

Thread needs solution

I've unwisely named some of my backups and would like to change the name without rerunning the backup. I would like to change the name of the .tib files if possible and the name in the list. Can this be done and if not can I at least change the name in the list? Thanks

You can change the task name without changing the name of the TIB files. Click on options, change the backup name, save. You might get confused later when you try to recognize your backup files in the recovery environment...
For full backups, I advise against changing the name of TIB files, because that will screw up what ATI tracks in its database. If you really wnat to do that, that is OK, but it can lead to confusion later.
For backup chains, don't change anything to the TIB files. Create a new task with your desired new name and erase the TIB files you don't like when they are obsolete.
