VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
It used to use the date and time in older versions but it wasn’t guaranteed that the file names would be unique at that time. I too am curious as to your use case for using the date/time in the file names. Others have asked about this as well but I’m not sure that I’ve seen the use case for it yet. Thank you so much.
From my point of view, the way they are naming the file is not optimal. It would simply be easier to take the date and time As I told in my first answer, the random _#### value is added to prevent conflicts between 2 different per-vm backup chains for the same machine. Only Date and Time is ok, but what happens, if two backup files were created at the exactly same second? There could be a mixup. FK-DC.vm-20398D2022-08-22T200133_F3BA.vib [VM]D[Date]T[TIME]_[RANDOM-Hex-Value].vib Thans you!
I do NOT want to know the algorithm, I just want to know the sequence the file is named with.From my point of view, the way they are naming the file is not optimal.It would simply be easier to take the date and time Why they take the trouble to add codes that do not indicate anything.
Hi Fabian, Thanks for the answer. I understand that it is to avoid conflicts, but what is the sequence? or What algorithm does it take? I ask the question to identify the order. Thanks :)Margarita
