I saw this asked elswhere here... I second the request for this feature...

...the option to have XCloner automagically name backup files like so:

[date]+[time]+"your custom name"

or

"your custom name"+[date]+[time]

This is important for when backing up multiple databases to the same directory. Without the custom part, you can't tell which file is for which database; and, as it stands now, if you use a custom name you can only keep 1 backup because it gets overwritten.

In addition to name change change which i wil consider adding, you can simply define a custom Backup path for each database you want to backup, so instead of putting them in a single directory, you could order them by subdirectories....
