Ok, jumping in here a bit late :)

Would it be easy to add a field in the GUI for this?

Something like:

Archive Name "$host-$backup-date..."

I'm making up the variable names but use the ones already available
and set the default to the current default. That way people could use
whatever combination of perl (and perhaps shell?) variables they have
available or wish to define?
