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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
