I am getting multiple backup files instead of one - how can I change that?

Thread needs solution

Hi there!

I am using Acronis True Backup 2012 and I used to do a volume backup. I configured it so that the backup is called "disk1"@date. I also setup a schedule to one backup a day.

That used to work and I got one file per day. Then I stopped doing backups for a while and when I recently started again I thought I setup everything the same. But now I am getting multiple files e.g.

disk12016-08-101.tib
disk12016-08-102.tib
disk12016-08-103.tib
...

Can someone explain to me how to get one file per day, please?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dirk.

Dirk, what are the sizes of your backup files?  There are known limits for file sizes depending on the partition format of the storage drive that you are using.  For FAT32 drives that is 4GB maximum, for NTFS it is 2TB, for GPT it is effectively unlimited.

There are also backup splitting options that you can set in the backup task configuration.
