Labeling the backup names is not an option anywhere?

Hello Symphony OfDestruction, hope you are doing well!

All files have the same name, with or without the addition of a timestamp or a sequence number. You can define this name (referred to as the backup file name) when creating or editing a protection plan.

After you change a backup file name, the next backup will be a full backup, unless you specify a file name of an existing backup of the same machine. If the latter is the case, a full, incremental, or differential backup will be created according to the protection plan schedule.

Note that it is possible to set backup file names for locations that cannot be browsed by a file manager (such as the cloud storage or a tape device). This makes sense if you want to see the custom names on the Backup storage tab.

I suggest you to take a look on the following user-guide with this information: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberProtect…

Please check as well the limitations for this action as there are rules for the name.

Let me know if this answered to your query and feel free to reply if you have any questions and I invite you to contact our support line: https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the response. I'm afraid this still doesn't resolve my issue with the backup file naming. After making the change, it seems that it applies to the main backup template which is mapped to all machines rather than to the specific machine that I want to only specify a unique backup name. Moving on, after saving that changes and making a new backup/protection effort, the new backup file name is not showing as I expected it to be. Instead it displays the date (the same screenshot in 2.png that I attached). 

This will be difficult to keep track of when there's a lot of systems being handled by Acronis backup and restore solution. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the reply and the clarification.

If you have a plan applied to all the machines and you change the backup name there, it will be applied to all the machines. That would work just for individual plans and not for plans applied to several machines.

Regarding the picture number 2 that's an expected behavior, that's a recovery point and it will show the day of the backup by default, that can't be labeled.

I invite you to expose you query to our support if you need additional support or a feature request for labeling https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153  .
