We all know that host names are truncated for formatting in the column reports. And there are configuration variables to expand the size of these columns. All good.
However, hostnames are also truncated in the non-columnar part of the reports, where length is not an issue. And I can find no variables to control this behavior. There is no reason to truncate hostnames in non-columnar output. Example: customer-host1, customer-host2 and customer-host3 are all valid systems. But without reading the actual log from the backup, I can't determine which one of these is which.
