Tried the idea some of you gave me with

        {/inbound}/site

and that did exactly what I was looking for

if I leave the french braces off ( I think that's what their called) then it
looks to my backups as a filesystem
when I put them in the format above then it grabs the data from the
directory

Thank you everyone for your responses and your help...have a great day...you
made mine
