It may be of interest from where the backup does come.

For this it could be possible to add a simple if statement checking for an argument.

ARCHIVE_NAME="$(date --utc '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')"

if [ -n "$1" ]; then
  ARCHIVE_NAME="$(date '+%F')_${1}"
fi

With that the script could be called with /etc/backup/scripts/backup.sh systemd in the systemd unit. The string would be appended to the ARCHIVE_NAME, resulting in the name 2024-06-08_20-32-47_systemd.
