Backup Destination Drive Naming in WBADMIN

[goombawaho]

I'm using the Windows Backup on Server 2008 R2 to a dedicated external USB drive. Curious about the naming of the drive. It removed the drive from viewing in explorer which I expected. Here's what it calls the drive in Windows Backup vs. doing a CMD line WBADMIN get versions. Why such a funky name? (\\?\Volume{552ca283-3033-11e2-8ea9-a0b3cce1)

Windows Backup Interface: WINDOWS 2012_11_17 14:12 DISK_01

Never thought of that. It's named: WINDOWS 2012_11_17 14:12 DISK_01 in Disk Management

So, I guess there's nothing to worry about, but I was curious as to why it would have two names. Seems weird - why not the same name. As long as nobody thinks it's a problem when it's time to do a restore, I don't care.
