Description
There are days where I have to backup and restore quite a lot of databases.
The "Backup..." functionality does not suggest a filename for the backup file.
When using the "Restore..." functionality the file chooser dialog by default only shows ".backup" files.
So it would be nice to suggest a filename in the "Backup..." functionality like "dbName.backup"
If thats not possible then in the "Restore..." file chooser dialog by default show all file types (or the users last selection).
Edit: I'm currently using pgAdmin 4 v8.10

Research direction
Start by locating pgAdmin 4's Backup and Restore functionality and reproduce the file chooser behavior with a PostgreSQL database. Review how backup filenames and restore file-type filters are selected; done means backups receive a useful database-based filename or the restore chooser uses the requested default behavior.
