+ With growing number of snapshots file-systems need some mechanism
+ to differentiate one set of snapshots from other, e.g. monthly, weekly,
+ manual, special events, etc. Therefore these file-systems provide different
+ ways to tag snapshots, e.g. provide a configurable way to name snapshots,
+ which is not just based on time. With only <command>shadow:format</command>
+ it is very difficult to filter these snapshots. With this optional parameter,
+ one can specify a variable prefix component for names of the snapshot
+ directories in the file-system. If this parameter is set, together with the
+ <command>shadow:format</command> and <command>shadow:delimiter</command>
+ parameters it determines the possible names of snapshot
+ directories in the file-system. The option only supports Basic
+ Regular Expression (BRE).
