How to change backup names so i'll be able to sort by date on windows explorer

Post by BPL »

Hi,

I'm using Cobian reflector 1.1.3 and I'm using the default settings

Timestamp format in file names: dd-MM-yyyy HH;mm;ss

Alternative date-time format: dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss

So when running my tasks I'll end up with backups with the following format `foldername dd-MM-yyyy HH;mm;ss (Full)` , i wonder, is it possible to change the format to something else?

Reason why I'm asking is because on windows I'd like somehow being able to sort all my backups by date. I'm still not sure how to do it but it'd be handy to have hundreds of backup sorted this way.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Using the timeformat yyyyMMdd for example will only use 8 chars.
