Hi @All!

I'm quite new to this Bareos - Backup - Thing and currently finding my way 
through the documentation, setting up a test environment.

One thing which caught my attention is the naming scheme used: Clients are 
postfixed with "-fd", Jobs with "-job", ...

For me this looks like an unneeded repetition of information which is already 
there (the context of the items definition). From a programmers point of view 
it feels like its violatig the DRY principle - and from a users perspective it 
makes the Web-UI feel way more geeky and complex, than it obviously is.

However, every example I've found in the docs as well as on the net seems to 
adhere to these postfixes - which makes me curious if the postfixes are needed 
because of some technical requirement I'm not aware of? And/or it has some 
other downside if you simply omit them?

What is considered to be a best practice naming strategy? What are the pros and 
cons?

Thanks for enlighten me.
