I've had a quick look on the forum, but didn't see anything mentioned about my question: how do I give a backup a unique name while setting up mkultiple cron jobs, such that the backup instances are not overwritten. As far as I can see in my testing, you can only preserve backup instances if you let the script give the name, whereby the date and time stamp provide the uniqueness that ensures that files are not overwritten. When you give your own name, there is only one backup instance (the latest) at any time, since the files are overwritten as they have the same name (the one you gave).
Is there a way of passing date and time variables to the script along with a unique (fixed) name string, so that many backup instances can be preserved?
Thanks!

Hi Ovidiu, thanks very much for coming back so quickly. I've looked again at the cloner.cron.php file and wonder whether the adjustments needed are around:
if($_CONFIG[cron_bname]!="")
$_REQUEST['bname'] = $_CONFIG[cron_bname];
Not being hot on these things, I can't work out what changes to make. Kindly put me ouit of my misery!
