Re: [Bobs-devel] Backup frequency

[James W. B. <jbe...@mi...>]

Rene:
Thanks for the explanation.  So could this be solved by simply modifying 
the extender on the file to be:
somefile.ext.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

so just adding the hour, minute, second as part of the extension.  This 
would then make the filename unique when its saved.
