OK so this is what I did to get automated backups going:

1- Opened SD, set up the settings the way I wanted them, and saved them.

2- Copied the included sample AppleScript in the SD Disk Image and changed the name of the settings file to the one created in (1) above.

3- Saved that AppleScript as an application.

4- Created a launchd plist that I put in /Library/LaunchAgents, which will daily at 5:00 AM start SD and do my automated backup by running the application.

Until the next generation of automation, that's what I will do. Anything better than that?
Thanks.
