Email-Backup

That is great set of scripts, appreciate to all of your works .
The script contains a folder to organize backup file(s) . That is good idea but there are minor issue that is attached file contains the folder name.

it is my person modification with daily backup and monthly backup, it will keep monthly and current date backup.

My modification sharing.

#Add type of backup
:local TypeOfBackup "";
:local mday [:pick $YYYYMMDD 6 8];
:if ($mday = "01") do={
set $TypeOfBackup ("Monthly")
} else= {
set $TypeOfBackup ("Daily")
}

#Remove Outdate Backup file
/ file remove [ /file find where name~"^$0/..-$TypeOfBackup-.$"]

#Rewrite File with date & time pattern
:local FileName ([ $CharacterReplace ($Identity . "." . $Domain) "." "_"]."-".$TypeOfBackup."-". $YYYYMMDD . "-". $HHMMSS );

#Rewrite Subject Line with date & time pattern
subject=([ $SymbolForNotification "floppy-disk,incoming-envelope" ] .
"Backup & Config"." ".$TypeOfBackup." ". $YYYYMMDD . " [" . [/system clock get time] . "]"); \

Well, the rationale with the directory is not to organize backups...
I started to use directories in email-backup and upload-backup to make sure the scripts do not conflict. E-mails are sent from queue now, thus the backup files have to be present after the script exited. Running upload-backup when the mail from email-backup has not been flushed from queue could result in corrupted backups without directories.

However devices with low flash storage and/or RAM (depend on where the file are written to) are not uncommon with Mikrotik. That's why the scripts will clean up the files soon - already prepared in next branch.

Feel free to use the modified script on your devices, though.
