I'm using Ghost 14.0.5.34587, which I just REinstalled and ran on which I just ran LiveUpdate.
My question is about the name of the file that gets created when an incremental backup runs. For example, my backups go to the folder "S:\Ghost Backups\MachineName". An incremental backup of drive E: might be named "MACHINENAME_E_Drive001_i001.iv2i".
I create a backup job using the Define Backup Wizard. Say my E: drive is named "CriticalData". On the Options window, it asks for a Name and Compression. For the Name, I provide "CriticalData".
In the past, between one and maybe five years ago, this Name ("CriticalData") was used for the backup filename. An incremental backup might be named "CriticalData_i001.iv2i". Just recently when I created a new backup job for the first time in a long while, and certainly after reinstalling and running LiveUpdate, it seems that the Option window Name parameter is being ignored. Rather than creating backup files named "CriticalData_i001.iv2i", ghost creates files named "MACHINENAME_E_Drive001.i001.iv2i".
In fact, if I enter "Junk" into the Option window Name field, I don't see "Junk" being used anywhere.
How can I get to where I have control over the actual backup filename again? I have many disks being backed up, so "MACHINENAME_E_Drive" means nothing to me, while "Critical Data" does. With meaningful filenames, I can more easily search my backup disk's folders and files, looking for a disk and a date. I then double-click on that file to browse and eventually restore select files.
Thanks very much.
