2023.06 - Backup name is cryptic

[BluetriX (Erik)]

I am using the new Backup to storage (CIFS) feature.

I created a new backup with the backup name “test3” but on my storage the name of the file is cryptic “af17f433.tar”

In my optinion the name should be the same as the backup name “test3”. The Date and time inside the backup name would also be nice.

Snapshot naming + Filename

Would it be possible to have the snapshot name I choose in some capacity reflect on the actual filename of the snapshot instead of: 70344a3d.tar Sometimes I need to find something in an old snapshot (backed up to NAS) and the name would make it much simpler. I know there will be an issue with some characters and white spaces but perhaps that could be resolved somehow.
