Problem identifying full backups from incremental's

Thread needs solution

When I explore all versions for a backup is there any way to tell which backup is a full backup and which is an incremental? I don't see an easy way to identify them apart. Just if I hover my pointer over the multiple save points. Is there an option to add incremental or full to the file name? Like you can add the task run number @exec@? Or maybe the calendar tab for the full version can be a different color to easily identify a full version (see attachment)??

There is no way in the UI to see whether it is an incremental or not.
In 2011, there is no notion of adding an incremental to a backup. You define a taks as an "incremental backup". The first backup is a full, the following ones an incremental.
If your backup is created as a full backup task, you can edit it and change the backup scheme, although editing tasks is not recommended.

If you have a simple task name (if you don't use tags), you will that full version file names end up with an integer (eg MyBackup2) while incremental or differential finish with an integer between brackets ( eg MyBackup2(2))
