Include a comment in the backup

It will be great to include a comment each time a backup is executed. The comment value is included in the history file, it only needs to be used by the backup command.

    I would suggest that 256 characters would be completely reasonable. Thanks.

    What would be a reasonable length for such a comment? 128, 256 or larger characters?

    As I upgrade our Commerce databases, I have various "check-point" backups for recovery. Would be great to be able to comment the backup file with "Post wcim-ant.sh" or "Pre-upgradedb.sh"
