[AccessD] Add Date/Time Stamp to xcopy target

I have a chuck of code that actually creates a new directory, using the
current date and then copies the information into into and the system runs
this batach file every and has been running for years...It is only limited
by the size of the backup drive.

:: The complete data backup  
@echo off
set dt=none
for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%k%%i%%j

md c:\backups\%dt%
cd c:\backups\%dt%

echo Create Master Backup
xcopy s: c: /y /q

echo Update completed...
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >NUL
exit

HTH
Jim

Subject: [AccessD] Add Date/Time Stamp to xcopy target

Dear List:
 
Client wants to do regular backup to his EHD using Windows Scheduler.  He's
almost there but has a question:
 
The following in a batch file seems to work for backing up DocketWorks: 

 

xcopy "W:\DWData.mdb" "C:\ProgramData\DocketWorks"

 

Do you know if there is some way to append a date time stamp to it so it
does not always overwrite the previous backup? 

Anyone know?

 

TIA

 

Rocky
