Change Backup filename #160

Open KareemWaheed opened 2 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if there is a possibility of change the backup file name/naming format to a custom name

I'm uploading backups to S3 and i could enable versioning so that latest backup always has one name that i could restore via a script if needed without changing the name

Thank you

At this time there is no way to format the file - I do some pretty hairy stuff with the filenames based on what type of compression and databases are taken. I can see how it can happen but would have to map out what it would take to get working properly without clobbering any of the backend work.

It wouldn't be hard to workaround that with a post backup script since it reports the filename. Just ln it to latest and you should be good to go. Just my educated guess, not tested though.

This is a great way of utilizing post script! Lovely idea.
