DateStamp backups

[JimTheMuso]

I like to keep 2 or 3 backups but I can't find the date of the backup anywhere in it so I can look at the latest one. How do I get it to include it - preferably in the name? Thanks.

See the help file under Parameters, but you can configure your task to delete the backups automatically for you in the Dynamics task.

Thanks but not very tech savvy at 87 years of age. I understand I need to use %DATENOTIME but where and how do I use it? Thanks.

If you don't what to use parameters, then I would open the "Dynamics" tab of your task and select Full copies to keep, and set it to, for example 3 (or whatever). Then the application will delete the old backups automatically and preserve only the 3 latest.

I understand that but my point is that I cannot tell the date when the backups are made. They only seem to show the dates of the original files. I want to see WHEN a particular backup is made.

The date is shown in the History tab.
