Hi,
When taking backup on our Dataminer 10.3 CU10 staging DMA the filename seems to always include “Custom” regardless of backup type.
For instance both “Full Backup” and “Full Backup without database” creates a file named DataMinerBackup_10.3.0.10_Custom_DT-2024-01-12T08_13_02.3994532Z.dmbackup.
What I had expected was something like this which we saw in earlier version of DM.
FullBackup-20230314.dmbackup or FullBackupwithoutDatabase-20231101.dmbackup
I’ve learned that the backup file name convention has changed a bit in later versions, but does that also include that Custom is always a part of the filename regardless of type of backup?
Hi Mykyta. The response I got from the support team is basically that it works as expected, that regardless of backup type – it will always have “custom” in the file name and not like before where a full backup without database would create a file with “FullBackupwithoutDatabase” in the filename.
I think it would be good if we could have a confirmation from the developers on this issue. To me, it looks like a bug.The support team was able to reproduce the issue on their system.
Hi Roger!
Please, go to the system center of your Cube client and on the backup tab, click on content. What backup type have you selected for your DMA?
In C:\Skyline DataMiner\Backup i have two files:
BackupSettings.xml
DataMinerBackup.bks.xml
No CustomBackup xml found
I’ll attach screen shots of the contents, looks alright to me.
Hi Roger,
Sorry for the delayed response!
By your comment and the screenshot attached, it does look like you have the correct files and the correct content in them.
Unfortunately this seems to be an actual issue and I would suggest you contacting our support team regarding this!
Thank you for you patience!
The backup settings I’ve tried is either the pre-defined Full Backup or Full Backup without database, and no matter which – the filename still indicate it’s a custom backup.

Okay Roger, so the backup process reads one of the following configuration files:
-C:Skyline DataMinerBackupBackupSettings.xml
-C:Skyline DataMinerBackupCustomBackupSettings.xml
-C:Skyline DataMinerBackupDataMinerBackup.bks.xml
By your backup option choice, the BackupSettings.xml is the one it would read out.
In this file, look for the PredefinedBackups xml tag.
Under the PredefinedBackups xml tag, you will see several Backup tags containing attributes like Id, Name, Info, etc.
I can’t post images on the answers, but let me know if you see those backup tags, and most importantly if they have the attributes ID and Name filled in.
From there I can then have a clue of what happened and explain how you could get your backup names back like you used to have 🙂
Hi Roger,
I also do think this is an actual bug, thank you very much for noticing this and letting us know!
I already talked with the team and we will be investigating the issue.
