Resolving the message "This Backup File Contains 10 Backup Sets"

  • "Yes": The existing set will be renamed with the date appended to the file name. For example, "Acctivate$Demo.bkf" will be renamed to "Acctivate$Demo_20200206_161720.bfk" A new set will be created with the original "Acctivate$Demo.bkf" name.
  • "No": The backup will be added to the existing backup file.
