[feat]: Select dir for backups #1967

Description

@kn0wmad

Prerequisites

Describe the Feature Request

When backing up to an external drive, eOS doesn't much care for existing backups. Therefore, only one eOS backup can be made and all future backups will overwrite (or add diff) that backup. If one has a large external drive, and wants to use it as a backup for 2+ devices, they cannot at this time.

Describe the Use Case

"Edge" case - needed for using one external drive to backup multiple embassies

Describe Preferred Solution

Have the "Create Backup" process create a directory (allowing the user to name it) and then display that as a possible backup location, such that multiple backup directories can exist simultaneously on the same drive
