Variable substitution can be used when specifying the backup destination or the compressed filename. Variables must be enclosed in double square brackets. The following variables are available:
| Variable Name | Substituted Value |
| HOUR | H00, H01, ..., H23 |
| DAY_WEEK | MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU |
| DAY_MONTH | DM01, DM02, ..., DM31 |
| DAY_YEAR | DY001, DY002, ..., DY366 |
| WEEK_MONTH | WM01, WM02, ..., WM05 |
| WEEK_YEAR | WY01, WY02, ..., WY52 |
| MONTH | JAN, FEB, ..., DEC |
| YEAR | 2007, 2008, ... |
| DATE | MM-DD-YYYY (ex: 07-08-2008) |
| TIME | HH_MM (ex: 15_00) |
| DATETIME | MM-DD-YYYY HH_MM (ex: 07-08-2008 15_00) |
| UNIQUE | UniqueID_RunCount (ex: 1_13) |
Variable names are case insensitive, so for example you can use [[HOUR]], [[Hour]], or [[hour]] and all will behave the same. You can use any number of variable names when specifying the backup destination and compressed filename.
