+## Archive naming
+
+If you've got multiple borgmatic configuration files, you might want to create
+archives with different naming schemes for each one. This is especially handy
+if each configuration file is backing up to the same Borg repository but you
+still want to be able to distinguish backup archives for one application from
+another.
+
+borgmatic supports this use case with an `archive_name_format` option. The
+idea is that you define a string format containing a number of [Borg
+placeholders](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/help.html#borg-placeholders),
+and borgmatic uses that format to name any new archive it creates. For
+instance:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    ...
+    archive_name_format: home-directories-{now}
+```
+
+This means that when borgmatic creates an archive, its name will start with
+the string `home-directories-` and end with a timestamp for its creation time.
+If `archive_name_format` is unspecified, the default is
+`{hostname}-{now:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f}`, meaning your system hostname plus a
+timestamp in a particular format.
+
+<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 1.7.11</span> borgmatic
+uses the `archive_name_format` option to automatically limit which archives
+get used for actions operating on multiple archives. This prevents, for
+instance, duplicate archives from showing up in `rlist` or `info` results—even
+if the same repository appears in multiple borgmatic configuration files. To
+take advantage of this feature, simply use a different `archive_name_format`
+in each configuration file.
+
+Under the hood, borgmatic accomplishes this by substituting globs for certain
+ephemeral data placeholders in your `archive_name_format`—and using the result
+to filter archives for supported actions.
+
+For instance, let's say that you have this in your configuration:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    ...
+    archive_name_format: {hostname}-user-data-{now}
+```
+
+borgmatic considers `{now}` an emphemeral placeholder that will probably
+change per archive, while `{hostname}` won't. So it turns the example value
+into `{hostname}-user-data-*` and applies it to filter down the set of
+archives used for actions like `rlist`, `info`, `prune`, `check`, etc.
+
+The end result is that when borgmatic runs the actions for a particular
+application-specific configuration file, it only operates on the archives
+created for that application. Of course, this doesn't apply to actions like
+`compact` that operate on an entire repository.
+
+<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">Prior to 1.7.11</span> The way to
+limit the archives used was a `prefix` option in the `retention` section for
+matching against the start of archive names used for a `prune` action and 
+a separate `prefix` option in the `consistency` section for matching against
+the start of archive names used for a `check` action. Both of these options
+are deprecated in favor of the auto-matching behavior in newer versions of
+borgmatic mentioned above.
