duplicating files and adding today's date


  • Subject: duplicating files and adding today's date

i have a FM Pro database that i want to make a backup applescript that is
open all of the time and will:

1 - temporarily close the open database at midnight every night.
2 - duplicate and copy it to a set folder.
3 - rename the document to the date of that day.
4 - open the database back up in FM Pro.

if anyone knows how to make the script occur at a given hour
and to have the file renamed with the current date, that would
be most helpful...

thanks,
chris
