   Hi
   I use on my script for backup this variable:
   
   

   Code:

   DATE="$(/bin/date +%d-%m-%Y)"

   and then on my command the $DATE and is working great for one backup per day...
   
   Now i need to get two backups per day and i am thinking to use the time variable so i can avoid overwriting as i don't know any other way for it
   
   How can i add the time on my DATE= ?
   
   Thanks you !
