Issue Summary
Demonstration Site, which provides similar backup functionality, offers the ability to associate notes with a backup, which is very helpful for keeping a log of changes. I believe it accomplishes this by way of a .info file it saves along with the backup. I think the same would be an excellent feature for Backup and Migrate manual backups—especially if exposed through Drush!

+1 Notes would be so incredibly useful, especially if there was a link to 'notes' alongside the download ,restore, delete operations on the List pages. The Available updates page does this same kind of thing with "Release notes" and it is extremely useful.

Just keeping this one alive...I'd love to be able to add notes to help me remember what state a backup is in for future reference.

This is on the docket for v3 which should be up for testing as soon as I can find a little free time to clean up what I have done and push it.

@ronan: Maybe you could push what you have to a feature branch, and someone else can test/adapt it?

Wow, this issue is long time overdue.
Many thanks to the maintainers/developers for this handy module.
The textarea for description is available on Advanced backup page, but that is 3-clicks-too-deep for me.
I liked the idea of a description input on the quick backup form, offered in #6 by xandeadx.
Please, find attached the patch against 7.x-2.x master branch dated 19 Feb 2013.
