Why does my backup say 'not backed up yet' after backing up?

Thread needs solution

I like to do a full backup every Friday and keep 4 weeks of backups. When I do each backup I then validate and it seems to be OK but when I go in the next Friday it says 'not backed up yet' and sometimes shows many versions although I try to do a new one each time. I backup on to a hard disc that I plug in when I do the backup and then unplug afterwards. The schedule is turned off but defaults to 'Friday' & I don't know if it can be turned off permanently. Does that mean that my previous backups wouldn't work if I tried to restore one? Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone please help??

Ignore it. That message appears when a task is run only manually rather than on an automated schedule. It is misleading, as it doesn't take account of the task being run manually.

Thanks for your help Tuttle, does that mean that the backup be OK to use if I ever had to restore it? Also, why does it show that it's version 8 or whatever it is when I'm trying to do a new backup each time or am I doing something wrong?

We recommend that you boot from the ATI Rescue Media and try to restore a file or two from the backup. If you can do that, that would give good confidence that you could do a full restore if you ever needed to.

Thanks for all the help - it looks like I have a lot to learn!!
