Hi,

Is there a way to customize name of backup group?

Background:
I use Proxmox Backup Client to backup several folders on a remote server. This remote server is a home lab's NAS and these folders contain persistent volumes of my Kubernetes cluster. I have a separate folder for each Kubernetes namespace and therefore I have several folders.

Current situation:
When running "proxmox-backup-client backup" in remote server, If I...
  1. ... don't specify namespace ("--ns"), all backups are in single backup group called "host/pve150-dell-7050" (red highlight)
  2. ... specify namespace, each namespaces ("cluster", "prod" - blue highlight) has single backup group called "host/pve150-dell-7050"
Both options are sub-optimal - option 2 a little bit less so.

What I would like to achieve is to have each folder as an own backup group. This way folder (i.e. Kubernetes namespace) would be "on the same level" with container backups.

Speculation:
To me, the simplest solution would be to have more unique name for backup groups. For example, instead "host/[host name]" backup group would be named as "host/[host name]/[file archive name]" which in my case would result as backupgroup "host/pve150-dell-7050/kubernetes-prod.pxar"
