I would prefer date, since the 'backup number' is only relevant within
BackupPC's universe; whereas the date is relevant to the rest of the world.
Concur, plus backup numbers have a shelf life, I have roughly 9 backups.

Even when restoring an entire host, the share must be specified, correct?
One problem is that '/' is a character with special meaning on the command
line; and so we should avoid putting it in filenames. Suggestions?
You could substitute "Full" for a root-level restore... So it could be
hostname_20110824_Full.tar or hostname_20110824_etc_home.zip (assuming the restore is /etc and /home)...The only problem with that is the name can get long and tedious. Suggestions on that?
