Create a new folder with a Date/Time Stamp (Ex.. BU_110206_1100) in
a backup
folder with a path of /Users/DDD/Desktop/OE_BkUps/
Then COPY all files from a folder " /Users/DDD/Desktop/TheFolder/"
into this new folder.
This should do it:
tell application "Finder"
set the copy_target to make new folder with properties {name:(my BU
())} at folder OE_BkUps of the desktop
copy files of folder "theFolder" to the copy_target
end tell
on BU()
set curdate to the current date
set curtime to hours of curdate & minutes of curdate as text
set text item delimiters to "/"
set curday to text items of short date string of curdate
set text item delimiters to ""
set curday to curday as text
return "BU_" & curday & "_" & curtime
end BU
