Versioning: set the versioned backed up file to timestamp

[therube]

RFE: Versioning

Perhaps set the versioned backed up file (version) name, date & time, to coincide with the date/time of the backed up file, rather then the date/time that the backup occurred?

It doesn't really matter, particularly.
But would it make sense to do?

abc.txt
(dated) 01/01/2020 02:01:00 PM


I edit the file, today, FFS sees the change & updates the backup, moves the existing to a versioned file.

So now the (source &) backup shows:

abc.txt 06/24/2020 11:42:02 AM


And the versioned file shows:

abc.txt 2020-06-24 114202 (as its name)
& 01/01/2020 02:01:00 PM (as its date/time as stored on disk)


Would it make sense to name the versioned file:

abc.txt 2020-01-01 140200
(which would then coincide with the timestamp on disk)  01/01/2020 02:01:00 PM


rather then the date/time of the backup?

Perhaps not?

Perhaps it is more important to know the date that an action occurred (the date of the the backup, versioning)?
(And as it is, the timestamp of the file on disk still shows its original date/time.)

It's case-by-case. If someone one were restore on older copy, they would probably want to have the date of backup rather than details linked with the file itself. Also, backups are more often than not used with time slices in mind, where you want to keep track of snapshots of data. I can see why you'd want what you are talking about though
