Archive Name may NOT end in a number

Thread needs solution

Took me awhile to figure this out. Under V6, I had an archive named Backups-2012

Pretty sure this worked under early version of V7 :), but updated to latest version, and the log just said
Task 'Backup Servers - Jan 12' changed its state from 'idle' to 'waiting'. It waited for several days.

Editing the task, it highlighted the archive name in RED and showed a help message
saying Archive names can not end in a number. A number? seriously? Yup. Seriously. Wow.

Fixed by changing the archive name to delete the number, so an entirely new 300GB archive was created under a different name. Which is ridiculous.

Just warning others who may stumble down this same rabbit hole, and documenting so that Acronis may consider fixing this issue. I understand not allowing delimiters (punctuation) but numbers? Wow.

as i remember correctly: now from the webgui you cannot add an archive anymore ending with a number.
