Hi Adrian,

I have the following bash script and it fails at line 14 and 15

to get it to work, the answer has to be simple but i can't figure it.
This is going to be my new backup script, based on an earlier version
that is very similar in functionality except I wasn't using tar, in
that version.
#!/bin/sh
# Variables:
# Determine backup level
incrementalfile="/srv/tar_incremental_file"
if [ -f $incrementalfile ]
then
backuplevel=`date +%w`
else
backuplevel="0"
rm $incrementalfile> /dev/null 2>&1
fi
7zparameters='a -si -mhe=on -ppassword -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64
-md=32m -ms=on -l'
Variable names can't start with a digit (as in 7zfilename=...).
7zfilename='Daily backup - `date +%a" "%h" "%H%M"
"%d-%m-%Y`.$backuplevel.tar.7z'
The single quotes will prevent the date command from happening. So you
need to use double quotes.

Jochem
