One second is not fine enough.  In a backup application I use
Dyyyyddd.Thhmmsst -- good enough for today, but not necessarily for

Also when you append 18 characters of date/time information to a dataset
name you run afoul of our 44-character limitations.  It's a small
embarrassment when I explain it to the k1dd13z.
