What do you have in the "Time stamp format in file names" option?

Again, only the backup to the external drive attached to the nas is a problem.

Issues:

1. Inclusion of date+timestamp in filename;

2. At least 2 additional UNscheduled backups of altered files every day.

I have only included 1 pst file in my example but I actually have 8 pst files.

Of course, the timestamp changes each time Outlook is opened, irrespective of whether the pst files are all used.

So many additional backup files are created and I then need to delete 16/24.

That is just pst files and since the backup is actually my Documents directory,

Each new or amended file gets at least 2 simultaneous backups of any newly downloaded file: 1 correctly named + 1 or more which includes the date/time in the filename.

And so on....

The program handles any destination the same way (destination agnostic). So it doesn't matter if the destination is local or a NAS. That said, you never know with a NAS. Something fishy is going on, but I have no idea what.

A pity that's the limit to support (even after donating).

Into the bin....
