THe more I think about using the date/time file names for doing clever things with backups, the more I think abot how this should be implemented, the more it seems like you could replace all the %DATETIME features with just one: $DATETIME("formatString"). Then all the limits I've suddenly figured out how to hit just go away and somehow I think it shouldn't change the internals that much as you have to find the format string and process it anyway. If not you might consider adding these parameters:
%DOW
%CDOW
%CDOW3 3 character day
%DOM
%DOY
%MONTH
%MONTH3 3 character month
%YEAR
%YEAR2
%YEAR6
%HOUR12 includes AM/PM
%HOUR24
This came up because having figured this out I realized I already want to use both dd and ddd and that uses up both the date format slots.
