Well, I got the following to work using gnu date:
File = "|gdate -d yesterday '+d:/path_to_app/%Y%m%%d.bak'"
note the %d has an extra % - bacula translates %d into the name of the
director daemon prior to executing the script. Fortunately, it also
translates %% into %
Thanks,
Andy

Andy, this is a hack but you could perhaps write a shell script to
generate the file name and put it in a text file. Then in your FileSet
stanza pull in the text file as your File resource.
