You already support:

Name=distro
Name=hostname
custom nickname.

I would document that more clearly in backup_linux_plex.config, for example:

# Name controls the prefix in backup filenames:
#   distro   : use kernel hostname from uname
#   hostname : use $(hostname)
#   other    : literal nickname
Name=hostname

That helps future you remember what “distro” versus “hostname” actually do.
