Backup creates new folder with _1

[Mastakilla13]

Hi,

I've done the following to get to this annoying situation:
1) Reinstall Windows on my wife's laptop
2) Reinstall Veeam Agent for Windows and configure it exactly the same as before
3) Moved all old backup files (both .vbm, .vbk and .vib) to a different folder before starting any backup
4) Start the backup

It then creates a folder '<name of the backup job>_1' instead '<name of the backup job>'.

I don't like messy folder names on my clean backup server, so I would really like to solve this.
I've also tried removing the backup folder itself before completely recreating the backup job from scratch, but also that doesn't help...

Did you name the laptop the same as previously? If so you can use the Map Backup option to point it to the folder where the old folder was to reuse it and pick up where it left off. For me, it is on the Local Storage part of the wizard as I use a USB drive.

Thanks for the response!

I'm not sure if the name is exactly the same tbh, I think it might be slightly different actually...
It is also not clear to me where to find this "Map Backup" option to try it. My backups are stored on my (True)NAS and I have a "recovery usb disk".

The "Map Backup" option is during the job creation wizard. When you get to the stage where you point to your NAS device for the backup file locations it is right below the drop-down list for that - a link to Map Backups.
