Quote from the helpfile:

Below is a list of Time and Date macros.  Notice that most return values are two-digits long.

@SEC
 Seconds value of clock.  Range is 00 to 59
 
@MIN
 Minutes value of clock.  Range is 00 to 59
 
@HOUR
 Hours value of clock in 24-hour format.  Range is 00 to 23
 
@MDAY

@YDAY
 Current day of year.  Range is 1 to 366 (or 365 if not a leap year)

send(@YEAR & @YDAY)

will send 200510 (year = 2005 day = 10 for me today anyway)

and you might want to add the Hour if you do more than one back up per day.

(throw the minutes and seconds in while you are at it)
