Naming for the VMWare snapshot generated by TSM4VE

The naming of the VMware snapshots generated by TSM4VE during backup activity should be customizable.

You can see if a snapshot is generated by TSM4VE because the properties of a TSM4VE generated snapshot includes a "TSMBackup" information,
but a timestamp information is missing.

    very important feature for our daily business, where significant number of snapshots are produced and some of them not deleted properly by the TSM4VE implementation. So it is needed to analyse when active snapshots have been created in order to judge whether they can be manually cleaned-up or not.
