Hi Community
I hope someone can help me as i can't get the BACKUP_FILENAME_EXPAND Option to work for me.
I tried multiple approaches by setting the variable on the container with the volume, setting the variable on the backup container, setting the hostname parameter etc.
I'm using docker-compose and would like to specifi the variable name for each backup-file and this option seemed perfect for that.
Maybe someone can show me an example how this should be set.
Thanks

This testcase has an example for how to use the feature https://github.com/offen/docker-volume-backup/blob/dc8172b67313efc8ae9962b8da7a661914ffa3e0/test/s3/docker-compose.yml

Maybe it'd be helpful if you could share the code that you are trying to use, but does not work, maybe it's a simple thing to fix?

Thanks for the link.
In the mean time I found the solution myself (same as in the link you shared) :)
