I just tested proxmox-backup-client on a client named web1 and i noticed that the name of the backup in the datastore was "web1".
Since I have many web1 i wonder how I could give the backup set a more descriptive name ?
 
you can give the backup any id with the 'backup-id' parameter

e.g.
Code:
proxmox-backup-client backup ... --backup-id "mycustomid"

Thanks, the parameter backup-id is indeed accepted but strange things happen.
When i execute a backup with: proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --backup-id "lb01.domainname" the backup is done but it is never shown in the datastore in the webinterface. Maybe the dot is an illegal character ?
