TI 9.0: How to copy scheduled tasks?

[zrocker]

I've spent 10 mins selecting 50 specific files/folders that I want to backup to a separate, static (overwritable) .tib file. Now, I want to replicate that scheduled backup task 3 times and change the .tib file name to another static file name. Then, I'll have 4 (full) backup .tib files that get used over and over and not have to manage (archive or remove) .tib files.

So, how do I copy a scheduled task and then edit it to change just the .tib backup file name? Other programs have a 'job name' feature and allow you to 'Save as...' to create a copy of a configued job. I want to do basically the same thing (copy or Save as) in TI.

TI appears to save th scripts as XML files in, e.g., J:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\Scripts.

However, the file names are programmatically generated using a GUID as the main part of the name.

TI would need to add a user friendly interface to manage the critters.

One could generate a GUID and create a unique filename for a changed script.
Don't know whether TI would accept that script when TI starts.

Thanks Howard.

Before I read your post, I found the scripts and copid one of them, edited it and it worked fine. I just incremented the last # in the guid filename by 1 and changed the same in the script file itself (also changed the Display name to a unique name).

Whilst what you did might work, the proper way to create a GUID is via software, not by manually changing a string that looks like a GUID.
