Backup query

Post by jamespam » 15 Jun 2023 11:50

I have made a full backup to a Seagate external hard drive but I am puzzled by the file created.
What does the '2023-02-22 1948' refer too? and why doesn't it replicate the 'date modified' date as all the rest of the backup files do?
When I replicated the backup process with a Cruzer memory stick the date on the file matched the date modified date.

The '2023-02-22 1948' refers to the year-month-day time of the backup. So 22 Feb 2023 19:48pm.
It should have been similar to the memory stick date/time stamp.

Are those symptoms repeatable?

Is it possible that instead of accepting the File name that was offered by FH that you accidentally clicked on the existing file named FH Project Backup Pam family - 2023-02-22 1948 so the backup got saved under that name by mistake?

Thank you as always Mike. You correctly identified the mistake I made. I carefully made a second full backup and the file name and date/time matched this time.
