Need to add incremental feature to filename code. #3

While filenames now work, incremental filenames for the same day do not. For example, today is April 19, 2023, so the filename would be generated as $backup-20230419.tar. It needs to be $backup-20230419-1, then if another backup is created on the same day, $backup-20230419-2, etc.

See SolutionToIncrementalBackupFileNames.txt, which involves using the 'seq' command.
