I would make it consistent with the heirarchy:
<hostname>-<backup#>-<share>
I'm not sure what date adds since the date is irrelevant unless you
are referring to the date of the snapshot in which case it would be an
alternative to backup#.
Also, "share" should be optional in case the restore is done at the
host level.
