Versioning

Versioning creates separate backup names and helps prevent existing backups from being overwritten.

Warning

Versioning reduces accidental name conflicts but does not guarantee that data cannot be overwritten, deleted, corrupted, or lost.

Examples

v1.0
1.0
yyyy-MM-dd
yyyyMMdd
yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm

Auto Increment

Examples:

v1.0 -> v1.1
v1.0.9 -> v1.0.10

The application stores the last used version for each backup pair.

Date Patterns

Examples:

yyyy-MM-dd
yyyyMMdd
yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm

Date patterns use the current local date and time.

Cancel Behavior

Canceling before the backup starts does not save or increase the version.

Canceling a destructive-operation confirmation stops the complete backup process.

Choosing Continue without deletion creates the backup without running the corresponding Retention or Source Cleanup operation.

Important

A unique backup name does not prove that the backup is complete or recoverable.

Always inspect and test important backups independently.
