Issue: Scheduled Backup Overwrites Itself

Scenario

You create a backup using Backup to VD wizard, generate a script and schedule it, but only one backup is kept in destination directory.

Reason

Script does not change file name

Solution

Edit script. Find the string with file name, it will look like this:

vd_store /path = “D:/Backup” /name = “Backup_HDD0_20160303_0938” /vendor = “PVHD”

Change to:

vd_store /path = “D:/Backup” /name = “Backup_HDD0_$(YEAR)$(MONTH)$(DAY)_$(HOUR)$(MINUTE)” /vendor = “PVHD”

Save the script. New backup folder  should be generated on next run.
