Modify to use current date

Support & Help Requests
#1

I would like to modify this so it outputs the file name as the current date.

sudo fsarchiver -j4 savefs -a -A /media/andy/MAXTOR_SDB2/Fs_Archiver_Backups/6_4_17_Backup.fsa /dev/sda1

Assuming 6_4_17 is the date you want to change…

sudo fsarchiver -j4 savefs -a -A /media/andy/MAXTOR_SDB2/Fs_Archiver_Backups/6_4_17_Backup.fsa /dev/sda1

Then use:

 sudo fsarchiver -j4 savefs -a -A /media/andy/MAXTOR_SDB2/Fs_Archiver_Backups/`date +%d_%m_%y`_Backup.fsa /dev/sda1
