Is there anyway to name the backup file to reflect the date the backup is being done.

I don't understand, that's the default setting. The filename shows the date and time of the backup, along with the type of backup. The breakdown is like this:

PCBACKUP_20051114_0749ADP.ZIP

PCBACKUP - self explanatory
20051114 - date - yyyy/mm/dd
0749 - time - hhmm (in military time - 0000 - 2359)
ADP - type of backup - All Data and Photos

The last part changes depending on what you backup.

This has been the settings since version 8 at least (I think version 7 also).

Also, if it helps:

ADP - All Data files and Pictures
ADF - All Data files
PIC - Pictures
MEM - Membership files
ACC - Accounting files
CON - Contributions files
RKF - Record Keeping files
MLP - Mailing List and Profiles
CMP - Contributions, Mailing List, and Profiles
CRF - Custom Report files
