Allow setting backup destination based on dates.

Hey,
Would be nice if I can have my backup stored as a year/month/day folder. Having one huge folder is not that fun :)

Less important, but still nice to have is to store file backups in a separate directory.

    Hi,

    Do you manually navigate your backup folder? Our intention was that people will navigate their existing backups in the UD dashboard page, in the ‘Existing Backups’ tab. If you do navigate your backup folder manually, you can use the ‘search/filter’ feature in the file manager – i.e. filter on ‘2017-09’ to show only those from Sep 2017, etc. – would that work?

    I am +1 for this feature

    And yes, filtering is sort of a workaround, but folders is much simpler and nicer

    Please add to your consideration that this feature seems really easy to implement, which should also be a consideration in your priorities

    The best will be to create some variables to use in the folder name.

    So we could adapt at all needs.

    Examples :

    – /updraftplus/%year%/example.com
    – /website.com/%year%-%month%/
    – /%website_name%/%year%/%month%/
    – etc.
