The default names for storage devices are controlled by the device
manufacturers. These names are often not descriptive, so you change the name
of the device during multiple backup sessions. However, this change is
temporary, and it is lost after a reboot. If you have several devices, it might be
difficult to remember which name goes with which device. For this reason,
renaming storage devices is helpful.
