I never tried to do anything else with the machine except work in TB while the backup was in progress. Now, if I may beg the audience's indulgence again on this topic - I currently have the "standard" backup (not an 'update' backup) configured to create a backup file called F:\autobackup-%DATE(yyyy-mm-dd)-%TIME(hh-mm-ss).tbk. I assume this would cause a backup file to be created with the filename F:\autobackup-2008-06-02-xx-xx-xx.tbk with the Xs replaced with the time of creation. My F: drive holds all of my machine's backups. Because of this discussion I looked at my F: drive and noticed that the most recent TB! backup file was named: F:\autobackup.tbk with an OS timestamp of 03/25/2008. The backup which caused me to start this discussion was run a couple of weeks ago and was allowed to run to completion. But where did it go? And as you can see, the last backup file is called simply autobackup.tbk without any time/date info as part of the filename. I'd like to experiment with this file naming protocol and find out where the last backup went. Is there a way to manually start TB!'s backup at will? -- Best regards, Jack mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now running TB! v3.99.3 from Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 - Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
