The zip file that is created during a manual backup is: Act!+databasename.zip
I suggest that the Act! version number be added to the backup file name, or using the same naming as Act! Scheduler does.
.
A customer of mine recently did a manual backup, installed Act! v19 and did a new backup, overwriting his old backup, got problem with the installation and installed his old version of Act! just to find that the backup contained the v19 database and not his old one.
Of course he did not have any old backups saved.
This has happened before and will happen again.
Backup File naming
I would suggest to add the date to every backup file name such as:Act!+databasename4-12-18.zip
This creates multiple files so you can recover from the last good file.
I would like ACT! to remember where I saved my last backup file.... Your normal place is NOT a normal place I back up when coping all the important files to my off site storage.
