Dear Expert
currently when there is backup, the file looks like (naming) : nagiosxi.1234567890.tar.gz
there should be some prefix as per user choice
initially you allow just hard coded text, put before the file and should be as below (new backup file adding prefix : Fiber_Links_)
Fiber_Links_nagiosxi.1234567890.tar.gz
later on you can give choice to add time-stamp (dd-mmm-yy-HH-MM) so its very easy for admin to know the backup type with date and time.
prepend user prefix before NagiosXI backup filename

If you are looking at the Local Backup Archives you can change the name and the number you are seeing is the unix timestamp the backup was made

Dear scottwilkerson
as NagiosXI backup is auto , we also do SCP from production to our backup server, is auto too , so little customization is value added.
if you go through our Post/Thread (sure u don't have time), you will find many our customization (some with help of Nagios Support Team and some by our own trial and error).
sure little customization, will be plus points to NagiosXI , nothing urgent, but you can say its our love to NagiosXI and wants better and better, when I will move to other organization, I have to work less as NagiosXI providing all the customization we have done in this current organization with big time consuming.

I totally understand.
I will add a feature request to see about adding this to auto backups.
