Multiple image backups

[bpbp00]

Here is what I want to do and what actually happened:
I have Acronis 10.0 Home Edition.
I have two 200 gig hard drives.
C: All my data and software and XP Home operating system (total 55 gig)
D: Empty hard drive
I went into the Backup Archives feature and...........
I set up a a backup location size quota on Drive D of 189 GB.
I set maximum number of backups at 3.
I set storage period limits at the default (365).
I then went into Task Scheduler and scheduled a Full image backup to D: to automatically run every time I log off. It does this fine and creates a backup.tib file with everything in it from Drive C:
So far so good.
I fully expected the next day's image backup to be labeled backup(1).tib and the 3rd day's backup to be backup(3).tib. I don't care if the 4th day (which would hopefully delete backup.tib because of not enough space for day 4) is named backup(4).tib or if it reverts to backup.tib.
But NOT SO !!!! It just replaces backup.tib each day with the new one. I would have to manually edit task scheduler to create the backup(1).tib file on day 2 and backup(3).tib on day 3 etc etc.
Of what use is setting up a backup location with a limit of 3 backups if the program is not smart enough to create a NEW image backup with a different name?
Or am I doing something wrong.
Help !!!
Thanks,

Bob,

When you're setting up your scheduled task to go to a backup location, look for "Backup Locations" towards the top of your file tree, and send it there, not to "D" in your file tree. You should see "no name is required in this location" where you would normally, as files are named automatically. Your file names should end up in this basic format: 2006_11_03_14_18_43_453D.TIB

Thanks, it works !!! Stupid me, thinking it would be the logical place to be on D:\backups.
One minor question, where does Acronis get the time from to create the file name --- from the Guam time zone? Why not just take it from my system clock. It is 1 hour ahead. I create a backup at 22:12 and the file name has 23_12 .....

Yes, mine are also off by an hour, however, if you pull those images up in the Recovery process, most likely the correct time will show. The last Ghost version I had used Greenwich Mean Time for all their time stamps, regardless of where you actually were. I’ve heard that London had some Mean Streets, but Mean Time?……
