Hello There. I just started testing Proxmox 7. I noticed on the first installation seting up backups that i had the VM name in the comments. But after updating to the last (7.4.4) version (No subscription) the comment didn't have the machine name anymore. Is there a way to set up the backup having the VM name in the comment?
 
There are two ways to setup the comments:
1.) for backups created by backup jobs, edit the backup job and set something like {{node}} - {{guestname}} ({{vmid}}) in the "Note Template" tab
2.) for manual backups you can add a line like notes-template: {{node}} - {{guestname}} ({{vmid}}) to your /etc/vzdump.conf
