Thank you very much for this script. Though it doesn't do exactly what I've intended it is a great help for me. Now I can start tinkering by my own ;-)
My idea was to add an additional script named 'Name Backup now' to the AppleScript Menu. Your source helps me a lot with the basics like creating the filename (I didn't knew how to use phrases like 'do shell script...' or 'POSIX path' in an AppleScript) To be honest - I've written 2 little scripts before (under MacOS9).
