keep one backup per day-of-the-week so the script chooses the directory

have 7 copies, generally from the last 7 days, and, no doubt, often
redundant when not much is happening. But only when I'm not on
vacation, so there will be some sporadic behaviour then, when some of my
backups could be older... it is part of my bootup-first-time-each-day
script.
If it's helpful, I have a linux server running 24/7 at my house, so I
can automate a daily backup and keep them as far back as it suits you
guys (as I'm not in any danger [yet] of filling the 800GBs of disk space
on it). ;)
I'll set that up Monday at first opportunity.
That'd be great. If you'd be willing to automate backing up some other
stuff, then drop me a line, and we'll work out what we should be backing
up, and how often.

Rob.
