back up data base

[iccsi]

xcopy "E:\Databases\TRACKER.mdb" "D:\Documents and Settings\myuser
\Desktop\Database Backup\Track\" /c/r/y/a/d/s/v/q

I have above batch file to back up my database. It replaced the old
mdb file.

Is it possible to have the batch file add time stamp that it does not
replace old file?

Like Tracker_09:30_Mar172009.mdb

Your help is great appreciated,

Below is a script I use in a .VBS file

Dim objScript, strSource, strTarget, strMsg, strDevFldr, strServFld

' /////// NOTE: Edit variables in this section ///////

' The following lines of code are the only variable that need be edited
' You must provide a path to the folder where development files are kept
'
strDevFldr = "C:\Development\BDC\"
strServFld = "\\Pharmatech2003\Data\IT\Production\BDC\"
'
' /////// NOTE: Edit variables in this section ///////

' Get the file Prefix for archiv sake.
sMonth = DatePart("m",Date())
If Len(sMonth) = 1 Then sMonth = "0" & sMonth
sDay = DatePart("d",Date())
If Len(sDay) = 1 Then sDay = "0" & sDay
sYear = Right(DatePart("yyyy",Date()),2)
sHour= DatePart("h",Now())
If Len(sHour) = 1 Then sHour = "0" & sHour
sMinuite = DatePart("n",Now())
If Len(sMinuite) = 1 Then sMinuite = "0" & sMinuite

Thanks for the message,
Are there any solution using batch files?

Thanks again,

 

[Danny J. Lesandrini]

How about this ...
I don't have any code to create a timestamp, but this does work in a .bat file.

REM THIS BATCH FILE COPIES THE CLIENT FROM SERVER
REM AND STARTS THE PROGRAM

copy "C:\Program Files\Quote Contract Manager\QCM.adp" "C:\Program Files\Quote Contract Manager\QCM_bak.adp"
copy "S:\QCM\qcm.adp" "C:\Program Files\Quote Contract Manager\QCM.adp"
START "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\msaccess.exe" "C:\Program Files\Quote Contract Manager\QCM.adp"

EXIT
