Would it be possible to make the name of the backups / snapshots configurable?
e.g. by using time codes like those defined here:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/stable/gthumb-date-formats.html.en

Using them one could create a string like this
"Data-Disk__%Y-%B-%d__%T_%A__Week-%V"

to create a name for backups like this:
Data-Disk__2024-May-25__12:15:00_Saturday__Week-21

(Yes I am aware, that this example might not be soo useful. It is just for illustration...)

I am asking for this, because I personally find the notation 20250525T1215 rather hard to read and not easy on the eyes. Having many of those in one directory I really have problems finding the one I'm looking for.

Thanks for considering and thanks for the great working script.
