While this is correct, since I have written that page, I learned (from 
RUTE, IIRC) and experienced that $(...) is better than `...` because the 
backticks are easily misstaken for regular single quotes.

So that line should read:
export FN=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%a-%Hh%M.tgz)

I updated the wikipage accordingly,

Stefan
