xcopy file to another folder using date as file name

[jpkeller55]

I am trying to run the following simple batch file to copy a file every night into a folder called Backups. I plan on using the task scheduler to run the batch file. I would like the copied file to somehow contain today's date in the file name but don't know how to do it.

Anybody?

w:
xcopy/Y  W:\Chicag~1\Storage\Curren~1  W:\Chicag~1\Backups

exit

Thanks, Jim

Hardly an access question. See

for dates in batch files.
