Looking for a script for NTbackup to a unique file name

[Al Dykes]

I frequently run ntbackup to a second partition on my hard disk as a
first level backup (there are others, believe me.)

I'd like to schedule this. I can't find a script that creates a unique
file name for the BKF file. A name that includes the date, or is an
ascending number would be great.

Thanks

The Mount/\Command ".GetLogDate" will create an environment variable
in the format of yyyymmdd to use in creating your backup file name.
For a color-keyed example, see
(http://TheSystemGuard.com/MtCmds/GetValue/GetLogDate.htm#GuardNotes).

The $SEQNUM Function will provide a fixed column Sequence Number
that is left-padded with zeroes (0001, 0002, etc.). See
(http://TheSystemGuard.com/NTCmdLib/Functions/SEQNUM.htm).

Both ".GetLogDate" and "$SEQNUM" are free with the
Advanced NT/2K/XP/K3 Command Library (ntlib.cmd).
See (http://ntlib.com) to request your copy.
