Saving a copy without writing over another

[Heathbo]

I want to use the Save a copy as script to create a backup. The problem I keep running into is, how do you set the script up so it doesn't save of the previous copy. I guess I'm looking more for a way to save a weeks worth of backups. Any ideas?

Never mind. I figured it out.

You can set the file name dynamically with a variable.

I like to use the current year, month, and with the file name backups sort chronologically in the file folder.

Set Variable[$filename; "Filename_" & Year(Get(CurrentDate)) & "_" & Right(0 & Month(Get(CurrentDate);2) & "_" & Right(0 & Day(Get(CurrentDate);2) & ".fp7"]

In your Save As[] Add File... Dialog, select the folder and set the file name to $filename.
