Hello, I think there should be some kind of documentation or handbook for drush commands. There was some regarding restore http://drupal.org/node/681284 but I cannot see anything about backup. Please, anyone should write the different commands with their arguments and at least one example.

In my case I cannot find how to do a backup with a defined name. That's neede to set restorepoints efficiently. For example, do a backup called "beforeDevel.mysql.gz". I tried drush bb db manual "beforeDevel.mysql.gz" But that ask me for a profile. Does it mean I cannot backup the database with the name I want?

Also the ID of new profiles are random strings very difficult to remember and type, and you can't use the name of the profile in drush, just the ID. Is that normal?

Try this: drush bam-backup.

To see options: drush help bam-backup (or bam-backups, bam-destinations): shows the various drush commands.
