I know where the error lies but not how to fix it.

zfilename="Daily Backup - $(date +"%a %h %H%M %d-%m-%Y").$backuplevel.tar.7z"

When these two expand here:

tar $tarparameters $backuppath | 7z $zparameters $zfilename

I end up with all of the terms but the $zfilename still needs quoting
somehow as it contains spaces, how do you fix that or do I have to
escape all of the spaces with back ticks?

All the help so far has been great.
