Subject: [PATCH] host-backup.sh: Added "ALL" option and include timestamp in
 backup filename (#8276)

* Update host-backup.sh

added an "all" button to include all folders instead of clicking every folder by itself

* Update host-backup.sh

added a timestamp in the filename incase the user wants to make several backups on the same time.
Otherweise the newest backup will overwrite the earlier one.
