improved support for annotation of individual TKLBAM backups?

[yosimor]

Per my post in the forum, it would be highly desirable to be able to annotate individual TKLBAM backups (with, say, the current revision-level of the project, or a short summary of what has changed since the last backup).

Currently, it is possible to add such annotations via Webmin, only after the backup has been created [using: System -> Backup and Migration (TKLBAM) -> View Log -> {individual backup} -> "Action Details" : "Log entry annotation"], but there is no easy way to actually see the annotation.

I propose adding the ability to:

1. somehow specify this annotation up-front, using the Webmin interface and/or the TKLBAM command-line.
2. somehow see this annotation when listing the current set of backups (in the Hub, the Webmin interface, and using the tklbam-list command-line)

I agree with Yosi. You can also make some annotations in TKL Hub, but mainly about the whole backup set in my recollection.

I didn't know you could actually "Log Entry Annotation". Worth looking at for sure.

best,

I suggest also adding tags for webmin and hub as well.

Alright. I'll look into this for the next TKLBAM maintenance round.
