I developed a bash backup script for my home network that works pretty well, and I learned a lot in the process. I'm having trouble using a variable in a path however. I want to prepend the date to an mbr backup. This code works
But I would like to use this:But this doesn't work. Neither does any combination of /\$TODAY\ or quotes etc. I googled this, but kept getting PATH_ENV and related. I could leave it as is, but I'd like to know how to do this. thx, feffer777

I cleaned the variable assignment up a little and added braces around the TODAY var otherwise bash will see it as $TODAY_xps rather than just $TODAY

Just tested in my script--worked great. Guess I did not get the code for the variable right in the first place; mine was too cluttered. thx!
