Duplicate File (Folder Action)

This is a folder action script that creates a duplicate of anything you drop into the folder with the attached script. The duplicate goes right to the Desktop by default. Just change the location of “duplicate these_items to” to where ever you want. This is a nice redundant backup…would be great for an external drive.
This is my first applescript. I just discovered applescript today! I know it’s simple…but seems like it could be useful.

OS version: OS X

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	tell application "Finder"
