How to Change the Naming Patterns for backup files

Hi,

It seems that all backup file (.tar.gz) alway tailed with a timestamp postfix.

Is there any way to replace the timestamp with sequence number?

Because it needs more effort to do "file rotate" with the timestamp; it would be much easier with just a tailed fixed number.

Thanks!

Hi @ axvaster,

Currently, that's functionality doesn't exist, but I can submit a feature request on your behalf. For now, the best option would be to deploy a script to rename the files in the backup directory.

Let us know if you have more questions or need clarification on anything.
