Backup file name

I have expanded a backup from old show and given it a new name for my next show.

The backups I am now making are taking the name of the original showfile and not the name of the new one. I see that in the Show Manager, the Filename on Server is still the name of the old show.

After you backed up and renamed the show did you log off and launch the show with the new name?
If you just launched the show, backup and renamed the backup your orginal show still has the old name so all backups are using the old name.

Hi Michael,

I have just tested this with a backup taken from a different showfile and it works fine. The method I used was absolutely correct as this time it took the new name fine.

It seems to be an issue with my showfile. I just tried to expand the backup again and I named the expanded showfile Test. It then proceeded to launch the show but in the Show Manager keeps the old name.
