 * Is there a setting or filter to remove FILE, DBDUMP and WPPLUGIN from the end
   of the filename. It seems they are automatically added regardless of what is 
   entered in the Archive Name field in the Job Format Settings?

 * Hi [@zerogravity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zerogravity/)
 * Unfortunately, this part is necessary in order for import to work.
 * You can customize other parts and add custom data to it. You can check [this guide](https://backwpup.com/docs/what-placeholders-can-i-use-in-archive-names-and-what-do-they-mean/?utm_source=backwpup_plugin&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=in_product&utm_content=formart_help)
   for these.
 * Best Regards
