Suggestion: multiple scheduled backup filenames

This means that it's overwritten by the next backup, making recovery of older backups impossible. How about allowing multiple filenames based on (say) date, preferably with an additional option to keep the last N (user-configurable) files? Peter

I wasn't aware of the Bat corruption issue. My problem is that I've lost a folder somehow. [Later] Now recovered. Edited: Peter Toye - 11 August 2014 14:01:22 (Update.) Peter
