Thank you for your reply!
No, I don't want to name the backups by date. Long ago, I used to name them
by weekdays, but when the backups grew too large, my backup disk did not
have room enough for 7 backups, so now I don't want more than 3 backups at
one time.
So what I need is mainly a script for renaming the backups the way I
indicated.
