Hi Chad ,
SnapManager offers two conventions for naming backup Snapshot copies:
Unique backup naming: The most recent Snapshot copy name contains the Snapshot copy creation
date and time (indicated by the variable date_time) instead of the string
recent. The most recent backup is identified by the Snapshot copy name
with the most recent date and time. This removes the need for the rename of
the Snapshot copy when the next backup is created. This is the default
naming convention for SnapManager 5.1.
Generic backup naming: The most recent Snapshot copy name contains the string recent instead of a
date and time stamp. The most recent backup is identified by the Snapshot
copy name that includes the string recent. This is the Snapshot copy naming
convention used by older versions of SnapManager and is the default setting.
When you have dataset configured in your system, you can either choose to apply
the unique backup naming convention with the archival process enabled, or to
keep the generic backup naming convention. If you choose to keep the naming
convention as generic, If you choose to keep the naming
convention as generic, no archives of the database to be backed up at the remote
location are created.
If you archive the backups using PowerShell, the generic backup naming
convention is automatically changed to the unique backup naming convention.
