Dear all,

I don't have good knowledge of the English language why it's really hard for me to read all the articles in this forum. Therefore please excuse my eventually silly question(s).

I have several backup tasks which normally uses incrementel backups. By using a batch script I copy all full backups automatically to a different folder in my network. At the moment I identify full backups by searching for the string ").tib" as my backup files has the following logic:

My_Documents_(2).tib
My_Documents_(2)2.tib
My_Documents_(2)3.tib
My_Documents_(3).tib
My_Documents_(3)2.tib
My_Documents_(3)3.tib
My_Documents_(4).tib
My_Documents_(4)2.tib

For every full backup TI increases the number by 1, therefore is every file with ").tib" at the end a full backupup.

The problem is that there are many possibilities to disturb this idea (backup failures, program crashes etc.).

Is there a possibility to add a parameter to the filename? e.g. "Full"/"Incr"
Is there a possibility to rename the files with a post-command?

I looked into "chain2gen" but it's much too complex for me.

Thank you so much for your help
Christian

I would encourage you to spend a little more time looking at Chain2Gen. Specifically, click on my signature index below and look at item 3-B. This is an pdf easy to use guide. If you have questions, we would be glad to answer.

What you would get from C2G would be one folder per backup set. From you posting above, it appears your procedures is one backup and two incremental--per backup set. If true, that would be the contents of one folder and you could have as many folders as you want to keep.

So, if you wanted to keep 10 backup sets (1 full+2 incr per set, you would have folders named set0, set1, set2, set3, set4, set5, set6, set7, set8, set9

After the backup set #10, the oldest folder would be discarded and the others moved up the chain of folders. Set0 would always contain the current backup set being created.

The new TIH 2011 makes it more difficult to use batch files for renaming, etc as was easy to do in the past. As per your illustration above, 2011 is adding (1) (2) to the file names. These (1) will also appear inside the set folders but would not be a problem as the C2G folders always have the newest to oldest as the contents inside the set folders.

Let us know if we can help you with Chain2Gen.
