Backup Timestamp

Actual situation:
When a backup is performed manually, in the Data Model menu or in a procedure without setting expiration days, the timestamp of the backup is not available.
The reply form the support is that it is a behavior by design since the timestamp is only used by Board to clear old backup when expiration days is set.
Current limitation:
When restoring a backup file, the system will display the message "no timestamp".
If an admin wants to know when this backup was done he will have to go to the installation server and control the information on the file.
This can lead to restoring an outdated backup too.
Solution:
Since the time stamp is an attribute of the backup file in windows, this information could be retrieved by Board and displayed on the screen when the restore backup action is opened.

Hi Gregory, thanks for the idea. Great news, this is already available in the latest releases. The backup does take the timestamp into account now.
