Is there a way to add the date parameters to a backup when it is created
using XP Backup Wizard. e.g FullDataBackup251105

Currently the previous back up is overwritten.

I would like to run a backup each night, copy it over to a CD and not over
write the previous backup

Thank you for your help

You could run a batch file to copy the backup file to CD:

@echo off
copy /b d:\Daily.bkf "e:\%date:/=-%\"
pause

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have copied the suggested script into a
batch file, made changes to the file path:

@echo off
copy /b C:\Backups\*.* "D:\%date:/=-%\"
pause

When I run it I get the following message:

C:\Backups\ASC Data Backup.bkf
The system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied.
Press any key to continue . . .

Please advise

Thank you
 
You must surround file/folder names with double quotes (") if
they have embedded spaces. "ASC Data Backup.bkf"
contains two embedded spaces!
