Frontview Backup Logs

I have the RND104 with OS6.1.9. I have configured several backup jobs using RSYNC to "GET" the files from another NAS (NV+) and store them on the RND104. This works just fine, and I noticed that when a backup has finished, the LOG has all the information including the files that were backed up. When the next backup runs, it appears that the previous backup no longer has this information as I listed below. The new current backup does have the list of files. Even the backup_nnn.log files are the same. No files listed.



First backup.........

Backup Job Name: TW->WW - upload
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: rsync
Backup Source: [remote:rsync]/woody::upload
Backup Destination: [upload]/
Backup Start Time: Mon Nov 24 2014 15:36:11
Backup Finish Time: Mon Nov 24 2014 15:36:13
Backup Status: Success

./
HomeNet2011.emf

sent 210 bytes received 583196 bytes 233362.40 bytes/sec
total size is 7616612068 speedup is 13055.42

Now I run the same backup again (there are no new files to backup but the previous backup should have one)

Backup Job Name: TW->WW - upload
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: rsync
Backup Source: [remote:rsync]/woody::upload
Backup Destination: [upload]/
Backup Start Time: Mon Nov 24 2014 15:37:33

_end of list_

As you can see, the backup ran at 15:36:11, yet the log shows no files.

When a frontview backup on the NV+ runs, it has all the files backed up, plus the previous files from other runs.

Also, I named my backups using names, yet when I download all logs, the files are backup_nnn.log. Is this a design error? when you have lots of backup jobs, matching nnn with the name is not easy.
