[AccessD] Add Date/Time Stamp to xcopy target + New Language

John:

I gave the task  to Noah - he knows batch files.  Told him $25.  He's
learned a bit more about batch files a lot more about testing, communicating
with the user, and reworking based on finding out 'what they really want'.  

Between that, the $15 he got for recycling bottles, and his allowance, he's
having a really good day. :)

Hi Jim

Ping for wait? 
That's clever. I haven't seen that before, but why not.

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
