I have been used to being able to title a restore point rather than just having a date in Win XP and Win 7 such that I have a better idea of what I backed up e.g. "Before adding ____".
Is naming or re-naming a restore point something I can do in LL 3.4? I've tried changing the title by double clicking in the date field and it will allow me to type stuff in, however once I exit then go back to the restore window it is back to the date only...
If yes, might someone be able to provide me with detailed instructions? I can't seem to find anything about this specific subject when I search.
Thanks in advance.

Yes it can - I usually add a tid bit of info to mine If more than just updates
I don't have a LL box by me.. I believe there is a rename button, check the box on the right side of the restore point, click rename, swipe to highlight/arrow/etc and rename...
*May have to type name then click rename as final..

You are correct firenice03, and you DO have to type in something before the 'Rename' button becomes active.

Rename restore point in
SystemBack ...
- open Systemback - on the LHS of the window you will see the list of restore points you've made (they are listed in order by date and time)
- left click on the one you want to edit
- right click to rename ... all done
Let me know if you want a screenshot to help demonstrate this - if you do, I'll try and do this tomorrow

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ Arm710@1.2GHz - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ i3-3110M@2.4GHz - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom N455@1.66GHz - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel T3200@2.0GHz - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel T7100@1.8GHz - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
