Ability to name backup jobs

It would be great if we could assign a name to a backup job instead of just the sequential number. This would especially help when I get a backup notification.

    The notification provided via e-mail is worthless if you have a lot of backup jobs like I do (Backup Job 12 was successful, what the heck is Backup Job 12???). Please let us use variables too (like source path, destination path, etc...). Please understand that e-mail notifications SHOULD be a tool to send e-mails to users who don't have access to the ReadyNAS but yet their data is backed up by the ReadyNAS.
  • Please add this feature!!! It is very critical for my usage of the Netgear ReadyNAS. +1

    Not to mention this feature SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE DAY ONE OF THE READYNAS SERIES!!!

    I actually came to this forum tonight specifically to post this request, and it's great to see I'm not alone. I have a couple NASes now and it would be nice to see the emails named in a way it's easy for me to understand.
