[RESOLVED] Location / name of backup

Thread needs solution

Hi, having used TIH for some years I am currently trialling 2013. Is it possible to nominate just an external disk for my backups and not specify disk:\My Backups ?

Since the disk only has my backups on it creating a folder "\My Backups" is an unnecessary layer, not to mention one of those minor things that irritate out of all proportion to their importance. I've poked around, even read the manual (!), can't see anything.

Thanks,
John

Yes. You would be able to specify any location you want, when creating the backup task. You can name the backup folder whatever you want. I advise you to store the backups in a folder, as later you may wish to perform other types of backups. Backups from different tasks are best kept separate, and if you had no folders all would be at root level of that drive which can lead to confusion.

Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.

And just a few minutes later... I spotted the Browse option. Cracked it. Sorry.

Thanks all,
John
