I can't imagine creating a new database after all the time it took me.


Maybe Andrei can clarify on this; also an automatic backup rename after two or three backups would be welcomed.
You can also create new backup file every time, using current date. This is a safer option if there is a suspected database or hard drive issue.

To create new backup file every day, insert %x in file name in View -> Preferences -> Backup (assuming you have enabled auto-backup already).

Your entire backup file name line will look something like this:

C:\Backups\music-backup-%x.obk

When backup is being made, this will result in file names like this:

C:\Backups\music-backup-06-02-12.obk
