Too quiet?

Thread needs solution

Is there a way to easily tell / see the backup chain of full vs differential backups for a particular configuration / drive? Graphic visualization would be wonderful.

Background:
I upgraded from ATI 2014 to ATI 2015 some time ago. I never quite had my configuration right under 2014, mostly due to slightly too small of backup drives. After I upgraded to 2015, I switched to larger (3TB) USB 3.0 drives and tweaked my configuration. It runs GREAT now! I don't want to change a thing. I can easily switch from "Blue" to "Red" backup configurations/drives (I saw that in a Grover post, which is something I actually used to use since I had a Blue drive and a Red drive).

My backups are running so great and so quiet that I worry that they are even working. I do know that they are, because if I open ATI, I see that the last backup was run and the next is scheduled.

Under ATI 2014, it was relatively easy to see the backup history in terms of what was a full and what was a differential. I can click on RECOVER FILES and see the pulldown with the list of backups (e.g., Backup version). I can't tell if a backup is a full or a differential though. I like to switch configurations/drives just before a Full backup is performed, so that the first backup after each switch is always a full. I know I don't need to do it this way, but it is my thing.

Perhaps I am mis-understanding but each tib file name has an indentifier as either full or diff or inc, etc.

Inside each backup creation task is the operations button
which has the option "open location" which opens into your pre-designated tib storage folder for that specific task.

Select specific task to view.
Click operations button.
Click open location option.

You could also set up the new task with email notification so you wouold be email notified of a the success or failure of each backup task.
