You can either use the default Snapshot naming convention or use a customized naming convention. The default backup naming convention adds a timestamp to Snapshot names that helps you identify when the copies were created.
The Snapshot uses the following default naming convention:
resourcegroupname_hostname_timestamp
You should name your backup resource groups logically, as in the following example:
dts1_mach1x88_03-12-2015_23.17.26
In this example, the syntax elements have the following meanings:
-
dts1 is the resource group name.
-
mach1x88 is the host name.
-
03-12-2015_23.17.26 is the date and timestamp.
Alternatively, you can specify the Snapshot name format while protecting resources or resource groups by selecting Use custom name format for Snapshot copy. For example, customtext_resourcegroup_policy_hostname or resourcegroup_hostname. By default, the time stamp suffix is added to the Snapshot name.
