Script to incrementally backup 6 partitions?

I had thought that after registering, we would be using Applescript.
Apparently there is an internal scripting language?
Could you give an example script for backing up 6 volumes, upon command, to a second hard drive with 6 similar partitions?
case 1, incremental
case 2, complete replacement
and where does one store the script(s)?
Thank you.

Script to incrementally backup 6 partitions ...

So, I gather that I can build upon the DailyBackup.scpt by repeating it with different source and destination pairs.
But I don't see how to insert those pairs...
The Applescript Dictionary seems quite barren.
and I looked in ~/Library/Application Support/SuperDuper!/Saved Settings, and found that folder empty.
It doesn't seem to get a file stored after a backup operation.
I note that if I toss the SD folder from AppS., SuperDuper will start up with blank settings.
Maybe they are invisible?
Where can I find a sample settings file?
...Al

Save your own settings... (File > Save).

getting there ...

Thanks, I found that page in the manual (R-T-F-M).

Now I'm struggling with why it only made it past two of six replications of the Daily Backup.applescript.

I also need to simplify it to a loop thru the several settings files...

SD seems to hang in a completed state for quite a while after doing a partition. I don't suppose there's any active signal available from SD to Applesoft to say, "done with that one". Oh - I set "And Finally..." to Quit SuperDuper!, but it doesn't seem to quit.
