Apologies, I'm not sure where to post this.

Feature request - labeling for backups.

I have about 60 guests running on a demo cluster of 5 hosts and everything is working ok for the most part. What I find a little confusing is the backup listing. Is there any way to attach a label or note to backups to denote what VM or CT it is. I am aware that the VMID or CTID is stored as part of the backup file name, but what I'm looking for is another column with either an auto-filled note including the friendly hostname of the machine, or even a manually-editable field that one can put notes in.

This would make it a little easier to see at a glance what is what.

in 2010 I mailed a patch to dietmar for that (not sure which pve version), but that feature never made into pve code.

patching 3 files, i added two new launch parameters for vzdump
--logwithname (prints also VM name in log file and backup files)
--logvmconfig (prints VM configuration in log file)

I still have my hacked code, would it be useful to upload it somewhere? although I assume vzdump changed alot, and some simple stuff like that should not too difficult to implement, if even I made it :-D

here is what backup logs looked like, using the second argument

Code:
