How to Create Before and After Norton Backup?

Norton 360 for Windows
,
1

I can’t create a before and after backup before I do something risky.
Because the backup file name is the same and hard to change.

Once I created backup “A”, I do something risky, and do backup again, the new backup overwrites the previous backup “A”.

Basically I’ve lost all the backups with the same name that I could possibly want to restore.

How do you create before and after backups now?
