Is there a way to configure the default name of a backup-file?

Dear DoJo Community,

In old versions, a generated backup file was named by default "DataMinerBackup.dmbackup". In more recent versions, the default name for a backup is in the format of for instance  "DataMinerBackup_10.2.0.11_Custom_DT-2023-03-07T20_05_40.4812188Z.dmbackup".

Is there a way for system administrators to configure this default naming procedure, for instance via a configuration-XML file?

Hi Laurens,
so how is it possible that in the past the cleanup mechanism worked even if we had not the date time inside the file name?

For instance, on our old DMAs we always had:
DataMinerBackup.dmbackup
DataMinerBackup_1.dmbackup
DataMinerBackup_2.dmbackup

Hi,
In the past that was a different mechanism that worked with the underscores and a number and then the older backup files got renamed every time a new backup was taken and the oldest file(s) with the highest number were removed. Now this is a different mechanism that contains the date time, so it’s not longer needed to rename all the backup files every time a new backup is taken.
Regards,
