You can also define the pattern for the backup filename by setting the ''paths.quick-backup-filename'' in the ~/.gramps/gramps42/gramps.ini key file like the following:
{{-}}
[paths]
quick-backup-filename='%(filename)s_%(year)d-%(month)02d-%(day)02d.%(extension)s'
You can use any of the following keywords in the pattern:
*filename
*year
*month
*day
*hour
*minutes
*seconds
*extension :
**'''.gpkg'''(default) if you include media.
**''.gramps'' if you exclude media.
Use the appropriate ~/.gramps/gramps{XX}/gramps.ini key file.
*Gramps version 4.2 :
~/.gramps/gramps42/gramps.ini
