-S.B. suggests that backup generations have an optional description.
-
-> 2. Named generations -- There are certain generations that are more
-> important than others. Some are automatically created by Obnam itself,
-> some are routinely scheduled, and some were explicitly created. For
-> example, I always run Obam immediately before traveling with my laptop
-> in case it gets stolen or broken. The same goes for backups before
-> major system upgrades. It would be nice to have something
-> approximately analogous to the Windows "restore point" functionality,
-> which has a description field. Sometimes they are only automatically
-> created system checkpoints. But if the user explicitly creates a new
-> restore point, he can add the description "before traveling to Europe"
-> or "before upgrading OS" or whatever. Similarly, the automatic backup
-> script could be programmed to label it as "cron backup".
