 * Hi there, using Updraft (both paid and free) for years, on 50+ sites; one of 
   the best plugins in the whole repository. Thanks.
 * I back up to google drive, and on occasion, would like to sort all my backup 
   files *by site*. Becuase of the naming convention of putting the date in the 
   ZIP file names first, then the site name, sorting by site name is hard to do.
 * Is ther any way to allow us the customize the backup file names?
 * thanks, irving

 * Hi!
 * Unfortunately, there is no way to customize the backup file names at this time.
   However, we do recommend setting different backup directories for each of your
   sites if you are using the premium version of the plugin.
 * So your backup directories can be _**UpdraftPlus/Site1**_, _**UpdraftPlus/Site2**_
   and so on.
 * Thanks.
