How To Reset Task Run (i.e. Execution/%exec%) Number to Back to 1
I'm a relative newbie to ATI, so please indulge this, and at least a couple other future questions in forthcoming posts.
QUESTION: How can I reset the incrementing task run (i.e. Execution/%exec%) number back to 1. I wish to purge all previous backup data files and start fresh beginning at 1.
I've reviewed all apparent GUI provided settings, registry keys, config files, and this forum, but have yet to find a solution.
Subject system is a Dell x86 PC running WinXP-Home SP3 using ATI-Home 2011 Update-1, build 6597, backing up to an external USB HDD.
Thanks in advance for any/all assistance.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply Colin.
The latter. I'm going to purge all the actual .tif image data files.
Why? They are test files anyway, as they were created simply in the course of me familiarizing myself with ATI, as well as to develop/test my desired naming convention. Once that's competed, I'd like to go "real-world" and preferably begin at 1. Particularly since -- as I thus far understand -- an ATI backup's initial image is accorded special status as the "get-back-to-original" full backup (i.e., without any associated incremental/differential backups) ... just as it should be. However, please correct me on this point if I'm mistaken.

Start 2011, right click on the task, select delete. This will delete the archive, next select more and 'remove from list' if the task still appears.

Kudos Colin.
You're right of course. My bad. I thought (mistakenly) in all my fiddling so far that I had executed a "Delete Backup" by now, but apparently not.
I must have always been executing a "Remove from list" and manually deleting the files. Because I'm "so smart", it would save me from having to re-enter the backup config data all over again. Go ahead and say it ... "How'd that work out for you Craig?!" ... I hate it when the stupid simple eludes me.
Thanks once again!
