When I make a backup then the file looks like:

C-Z87A-SYSTEM_full_b38_s1_v1.tib

where is the number b38 stored?

I want to reset that, because when restored in time, the counter is set back too and the later backups mujst be renamed.

 

Thanks

Kees, the numbering is held in an internal database used by ATI for each task, so there is no easy method of resetting the count.

There is a method of resetting the database but this will impact all backup tasks!
