Description:
The backup history log has a column named 'backup_file'. This column stores the backup image file. Currently, the value is the adjusted path of the backup image file. 

This is neither useful or friendly. The logs need to store the calculated path to the backup image file with all relative applications sorted as well as the application of the backupdir variable.  This path should be stored separately from the backup image file. This will make working with the log much easier and more informative.

How to repeat:
NA

Suggested fix:
Change the backup_file column so that only the name of the backup image file is stored.

Add a new column named 'backup_file_path' that stores the calculated path to the backup image file.
