Environment


Reload (Versions 1.x - 4.x)
NOTE: Reload 5 no longer use Portable Backups.

Situation


I would like to have the numbers used in the names of my portable backups to be reset. I have been using Reload for a long time and the numbers are getting very high.

Resolution


Move the portable directory/directories to another location, the next time a portable runs the numbering will start at one again.

The new directory can still be browsed to, and a poa can still be loaded against these backups.
