Description

I download 'AdventureWorks2019.bak' and 'AdventureWorksDW2019.bak' from https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/download/adventureworks/AdventureWorks2019.bak and https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/download/adventureworks/AdventureWorksDW2019.bak.

Then I execute RESTORE filelistonly on them and get files with name of '2017' as follow pics:
oltpbackupfile
DWbackupfile

So why these files are titled as 2017 but not 2019?

Research direction

Start with the two linked AdventureWorks2019.bak files and reproduce the reported RESTORE FILELISTONLY output. Compare the backup metadata and logical file names, then document whether the 2017 names are expected or indicate an incorrectly named backup; the issue is done when that discrepancy is explained.
