3.7 Backup file naming
A backup file name has the following attributes:
Backup name.
Backup method (full, inc, diff: full, incremental, differential).
Number of backup chain (in the form of b#).
Number of backup version (in the form of s#).
Number of volume (in the form of v#).
For example this attribute changes when you split a backup into several files. Refer to Backup
splitting (p. 51) for details.
Macros, if applicable (can be in any part of a name, for example, in the beginning or in the end).
Thus a backup name may look the following way (note that "24.05.2012" in the following example is
an optional macros):
1. my_documents_full_b1_s1_v1.24.05.2012.tib
2. my_documents_full_b2_s1_v1.24.05.2012.tib
3. my_documents_inc_b2_s2_v1.24.05.2012.tib
4. my_documents_inc_b2_s3_v1.26.05.2012.tib
If you are creating a new backup, and there is already a file with the same name, the program does
not delete the old file, but adds to the new file the "-number" suffix, for example,
my_documents_inc_b2_s2_v1-1.tib.
