Hello everyone,

So far I only use scheduled backups and they work perfectly. Now I also tried a manually started backup. The same thing happens to me as the r-atom described.

Could there be a difference between manual execution of backups and scheduled backups?

The difference is there, the scheduled backup generates the name well, while when you start the backup manually it seems to remain the old name format.

Done. 5.1.5 in the repo.

I would also ask ryecoaaron to correct the way the file name is generated in a manually started backup.

Once again, thank you, ryecoaaron.

It works great. Just the way it suits me.

I hope that other users will also be satisfied with the change.

Once again, thank you very much.

What else to say but THANK YOU for the quick response.

This proposed change suits me, although I would suggest using format datetest-2020-09-18_06-03-56 instead of datetest-18-Sep-2020_06-03-56 for easier sorting by name when there are many archives in Repo.

-{now:%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S}

And once again, Thank you very much!

Hello everyone!

BorgBackup is configured and does its job without any problems. But I would like someone to help me with one little thing.

In the BorgBackup plugin, when adding an archive, we give it the Name/Prefix and other configuration parameters. The plugin then generates a job in /var/lib/openmediavault/borgbackup/daily.d/borgbackup* where the current time is added to the prefix with -{now}, giving each newly created archive a unique name.

Example: backup-2020-09-12T03:33:03

This is all well designed, but on Windows the file must not have the character ":" in its name, so when I Mount this Repo on Windows via Samba it comes up with a mangling of the archive name. The archive now gets its name on Windows via Samba: BQZUVF~T. Everything works, but it is difficult to recognize the name of the archive.

Is there any way to simply avoid this mangling archive names? Is it possible to easily define a new way of creating a archive name?

If you want to suggest me to set "mangled names = yes" in the Samba configuration, that's not the solution for me, because then I can't access the rest of the archive.

Thanks in advance to everyone for the advice.
