how can I copy file to a folder

[encata]

I have scheduled backup file (BK.bkf) overwritten daily.I want to copy this backup file to a folder. The folder is going to hold the daily backup files with different names,so that i will have 30 files at the end of the month.

can you help me with VB script or any other scripts to automate the job.

Thanks

Here's a solution I use for making backups of a certain file and placing a date stamp on it.

This is a batch file and run it nightly under scheduled tasks.

del "d:\shared\DD\ALL\Customer Tracking\BackupCopies\customer.xls"
rem the above line tests whether the file still exists prior to copying

COPY "d:\shared\DD\ALL\Customer Tracking\customer.xls" "d:\shared\DD\ALL\Customer Tracking\BackupCopies"

d:
cd\"shared\DD\ALL\Customer Tracking\BackupCopies"

RENAME customer.xls customer_%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10%.xls
