Just in case someone would rather not write or modify scripts, Backup
Magic by Moonsoftware (moonsoftware.com) can make backups by date and

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll have to take a look at it at some stage.
I'm personally against automatically deleting backups here because one can
never have enough, but it's a suggestion that I could try to build in.

This is AWESOME! It's great to schedule backups temporally that copies the
file with the date/time stamp within the filename.

An enhancement that might help with unbounded "copies" of the backups files
would be to check the directory for the number of files... if > x, then
delete "oldest" file.

It makes the script a little more complex, but this should be very doable
for programmers. Unfortunately, I'm a network engineer--no programming
abilities here!
