Can I safely rename these incremental files?
Hello. I used Backupper on my now failed old computer. I have a full disk backup saved from the 23rd, and a total of 9 incremental backups over the next few days. The first 3 incremental files are in FOLDER A and named file, file1 and file 2. The last 6 are in FOLDER A / subFOLDER B and named file, file1.... file5. By their modified dates, I could easily reorder and rename these, but don't want to make a mistake:
I need to restore this backup to a new computer. Could you tell me the safest way to rename and order these files based on how Backupper works best? Or are these filenames and locations an issue that can't be sorted?
Thank you for you help.

This may be obvious to some, but it will hopefully assist someone.
When you restore, you don't need to order the incremental backups, only select an incremental backup to restore. It will restore to the status when you create the incremental backup file.
