    NFS Backup: Fix overwritting backups

    When using the NFS backup driver if we do multiple backups using the
    same container we end up overwriting older backups.

    The issue comes from a misunderstanding in the Posix backup driver of
    the purpose of the "prefix" metadata used in the ChunkedBackupDriver
    base class.

    This prefix is for the name of the backup objects to store, but unlike
    the prefix for the volumes, here it must be unique as the base driver
    will only add numbers to identify the chunk (for the volume we add the
    volume id). Unfortunately the Posix driver just assumed that the prefix
    had the same meaning as the prefix for volumes thus making one backups
    override one another.

    This patch changes the prefix generated by the Posix driver so we have
    the following format: "volume_$VOL_ID_$TIMESTAMP_backup_$BACK_ID", thus
    allowing multiple backups in the same container.

    The new name is backward compatible with existing backups because the
    new prefix will only be used on new backups as the prefix for already
    existing backups is stored in the DB.
