.abbu and .icbu
It's just so cool that with the most recent software upgrade, Apple has adopted the very same -- IDENTICAL -- naming practice I personally use for a lot of my files. Naming files month-day-year is dumb because when scrolling through hundreds of date-named files (like photos) you want to see the year, then month, then day. Apple adopted that and so is now going with the "flow" I've been using just in my own personal organization with backups for apps like Address Book and iCal. Additionally, funny and icronic is it's adoption of the "bu" shorthand. Before (And still currently) I had "bu" (for back-up) everyonewhere. Three different "bu" folders. "bu" this, "bu" that. And then amazingly both iCal and Address book files are named ICalBackUp or .icbu and AddressBookBackUp, or .abbu! It's awesome to know when the OS you use extends the organizational practices you've adopted!!
