I have been playing with my site and am realizing that I will be making activeuse of the backup/restore system. But I don’t know what each backup is that I am looking at - would be very helpful to see whether it’s an automated daily backup or a backup that I made just before testing some new feature. So an ability to name the backup or describe it as I create it would be helpful, and a name and timestamp of daily backup as well.

Discourse backups are super easy to make and restore, but their names (timestamps) can be cryptic when you make backups often while changing various things on the site. I can’t remember precisely which of these is the backup before upgrading to 1.5.0 beta, and which is the one before I ran an API script.

Labels/notes for backups would be great.
I would like to see this feature as well. I would like the ability to alter the naming scheme used for backups.
