BackWPup archive name has several rules, and you can use these rules to get your desired archive file name. For example, you can create a name for the archive of a job, which can consist of characters and placeholders. Here is a list of available placeholders and their meaning:
- %d = Day of month, two digits with leading zero
- %j = Day of month, without leading zero
- %m = Month number, with leading zero
- %n = Month number, without leading zero
- %Y = year, four digits
- %y = year, two digits
- %a = lowercase ante meridiem (am) and post meridiem (pm)
- %A = uppercase ante meridiem (AM) and post meridiem (PM)
- %B = Swatch Internet Time
- %g = Hour in 12 hour format, without leading zero
- %G = Hour in 24 hour format, without leading zero
- %h = Hour in 12 hour format, with leading zero
- %H = Hour in 24 hour format, with leading zero
- %i = Minute, two digits, with leading zero
- %s = Second, two digits, with leading zero
The placeholders allow you to create individual file names for the backup files.
Example: backwpup_611506_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%i-%s creates, if the job runs on 17th June of 2016 at 13:11:10, the archive with the name backwpup_611506_2016-06-17_13-11-10.zip.
