Automated backups are fully functional, but in my institution we need to allow administrator to set the course fullname as part of the backup filename, and not only the shortname.
Why? For us:
1. The course fullname has the whole identifying data to find the backup file of the course. Course shortname is not sufficient to identify it.
2. We are thinking of using automated course backups to restore them, on demand, if something critical is needed to check into the course after a long time (probably years).
In such context, in the long term, shortname does not provide sufficient details of which course a course actually is. In our case, using course fullname for the backup filename, will provide the whole identifying details.
FULL STEPS:
1. Set up automated course backups.
2. Set course name for the backup filenames.
WHAT I EXPECTED:
Apart from other existing options, as the course.id:
1. Allowing me to choose course shortname for backup filname (as currently happens).
2. Allowing me to choose course fullname for the backup filename (new option).
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
1. Only course shortname can be selected for the backup filename.
