backup with a different file name each time?

[olmos]

Is there a way to create a backup, and give it a different file name each time, for example, everytime I do a full backup, I would like to change the file name by appending to the name a date stamp. I am backing up to the disk drive and would like to be able to find the file I need easier.

Thanks,
Olmos.

When scheduling your backups with a maintenance plan, it should do this automatically.
