Topic: expanding window

Sure could use an expanding window in Setup >Backup and Restore Database >Create backup and Backup scripts maintenance

File names are a little long sometimes, can not see the date on the end...

Re: expanding window

I agree.

I also was wondering it it would be a good idea (or not!) to allow renaming the files to give them a meaningful name.

Since the backups folder is inside the company directory the DB name is not really required ether.

How about adding a NAME (no extension) and it is it blank use the current naming?

Re: expanding window

We currently stanp the backups as:
db-name_company-no_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.
The reason for this is some kind of security. Often clients download these backups and then it is easy to distinguise them from each other.
I would rather extend the fields a bit.
