Fellow list members, Ok, I've looked through the archives for about an hour now and can't find an answer that works. The problem has to do with the filename used when TB! performs an automatic backup. I have the backup filename as "TBbackup.tbk" and it will save the backup properly the first time I run the backup. However, subsequent backups either manually started or started by TB! result in an error message because the filename already exists. Well, yes, that's true because the first backup was saved to that filename.
Can I get TB! to automatically overwrite the old backup *OR* can a new backup filename be automatically created every time the autobackup runs? Some suggestions I found in the archives claimed the current date and time could be used to generate a filename but I never could get any of those to work. Usually a filename using a macro string would consist of the characters in the string but not the actual date and/or time. -- TIA, Jack LaRosa mailto:jlar...@charter.net Sticking with with The Bat! ver: 4.0.38 for now.
