Actually- there is an issue with this. The way in which the backup folders are created are like the following;
The '6' in this was easily fixed by simply removing the {2} that was after it. (the only issue that results from this is what to do starting in October, but I will just create a second script when that time comes)
What to do with the '9' and then '10' . I've tried various expressions and wildcards, but cannot seem to get it to work. I have a test directory setup with directories just as above.

thanks in advance.
