+Change: Include full snapshot ID in JSON output of the bacukp command
+
+We have changed the JSON output of the backup command to include the full snapshot ID instead of just a shortened version.
+The latter can be ambiguous in rare cases.
+
+To derive the short ID, truncate the full ID down to 8 characters.
