script or other method for naming/dating zip files or folders

tom12010 - July 23, 2009 - 9:29am

What would be an appropriate script to run each weekday such that every Monday's backup goes into //foo/backup/weekday??

Doesn't matter if it is zip files or whatever...but the folder name has to be the weekday or even the backup date/time which would be even better...

Thank you, Tom

The

easiest thing to to is to have a backup locations such as:

C:\foo\backup\@date@.zip

This make the name of each backup the date when it was created. For a list of all of the Variables check out the helpfile.
