Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2487

When creating an archive, can it be added the ability to pass a name for that archive, rather than using backupname="${servicename}-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S')" ?

I've tried something like this, in command_backup.sh:

# Initialisation.
fn_backup_init(){
        # Backup file name with servicename and current date.
        if [ -z $1 ]; then
                backupname="${servicename}-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S')"
        else
                backupname=$1
        fi
        info_distro.sh
        fn_print_dots "Backup starting"
        fn_script_log_info "Backup starting"
        fn_print_ok_nl "Backup starting"
        if [ ! -d "${backupdir}" ]||[ "${backupcount}" == "0" ]; then
                fn_print_info_nl "There are no previous backups"
        else
                if [ "${lastbackupdaysago}" == "0" ]; then
                        daysago="less than 1 day ago"
                elif [ "${lastbackupdaysago}" == "1" ]; then
                        daysago="1 day ago"
                else
                        daysago="${lastbackupdaysago} days ago"
                fi
                echo "  * Previous backup was created ${daysago}, total size ${lastbackupsize}"
        fi
}
...

# Run functions.
fn_backup_check_lockfile
fn_backup_create_lockfile
fn_backup_init $1
fn_backup_stop_server
fn_backup_dir
fn_backup_compression
fn_backup_prune
fn_backup_start_server
core_exit.sh

But other arguments are getting passed.
