in borg 1.x, we used to put a timestamp into the archive name to make it unique, because borg1 required that. borg2 does not require unique archive names, but it encourages you to even use an identical archive name within the same SERIES of archives. that makes matching (e.g. for prune, but also at other places) much simpler and borg KNOWS which archives belong to the same series.
