How do you name a Macrium backup

Phone Man said:

This is how I name mine. I use the first word for the Computer name and for each computer they are in their own folder.

Also in advanced options you can have comments and when you look at the list in the restore process it will display the
comments.

Oh I'm OK with that as long as I can put in a few words

Let's use one of my three computers as an example:
20170415_YT0_C_S03 or 201704_TSCII1_S03
20170415 is the date of the backup
_YT0 is from the serial number of HD (from device mgr)
OR
_TSCII1 -- one of two dedicated usb external 1TB pancake HDs
_C -- commonly called "c drive", which is really OS partition C
_S03 -- is the computer number
That's what I use; I do not let MR keep logs; easier just to search for images.

You can delete My copy my copy(1) and so on when you are doing the backup and that way Macrium doesn't get to keep logs on your machine.
