Ability to give Backup Job a Name
Unless I'm missing something I don't think I can specify a Backup Job Name or Label within the built-in backup utility of the ReadyNAS.
I have some backups scheduled to run and email the Status and Errors so I know that it's running properly. The email I get simply says "Backup job ### completed." I don't get any description of what is being backed up. I suppose I could send the whole log each time to see the contents, but a backup label would do in this instance.
Would it be possible to rename the numeric value of 001, 002, etc. to a more descriptive name? Or to add an additional label for this to the properties of the backup?
This would help for monitoring and maintaining backups, and would be great if you could implement in future revisions.
Thanks.

- Thanks for the suggestion. We'll put this on our to-do list, but it's very unlikely it'll make it into RAIDiator 3 final.
- Hi,
I entered "backup job description" in the search field and only this old thread came up from 2006.
Surely many people who have more than a few backup jobs would love to have a more descriptive e-mail message?
Just the strings for Source and Destination would do nicely.
Thank you.
