If anyone can see a way to clean it up please do.*
Feedback would be welcome as this is probably my best achievement so far on tasker.*
 
Impressive!

You may also want to look under Tasker > (menu) > Preferences > Misc > Maximum Auto-Backup Age. With that set to anything other than "No Auto-Backups", Tasker will automatically make a backup every time the Tasker UI is exited via the main screen. The backups get stored in /sdcard/Tasker/autobackups/, and they'll stick around until the time period specified (in Auto-Backup Age).

For added awesome, I have a profile which uses FolderSync to back up that autobackups folder to my Google Drive each night. :thumbup:

Yeah I tried the auto backup in tasker preferences bit its messy (more than mine I think) and I don't need that many backups. Once per week is sufficient for me.
I also have a syncing profile to send backups to the cloud.
