The backup snapshot name (ex:fullbackup_20200316_143005) has date and timestamp. The timestamp is picked up from where ? Is it the DB timestamp or the OS time stamp ?where to check teh same in Linux?

Hi Sathya,
The timestamp is obtained from the OS in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). On Linux can obtain the timestamp format with a command like
date -u +'%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'
