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.
