Example 1. Daily backup replacing the old one

Consider the following scenario:

• You want to perform a daily full backup of your machine.
• You want to store the backup on a locally attached USB hard drive in the file MyMachine.tib.
• You want each new backup to replace the old one.

In this scenario, create a backup plan with a daily schedule. When creating the backup plan, specify the USB hard drive as the archive location, specify MyMachine as the archive name, select the Name backup files using the archive name... check box, and select Full as the backup type.

Result. The archive consists of a single file: MyMachine.tib. This file is deleted before creating a new backup.

If you choose to back up to a locally attached RDX drive or USB flash drive, you will not see the Name backup files using the archive name... check box. Instead, make sure that the removable device mode is set to Removable media.
