  Hi,

  I cannot move this thread, but it should be asked in the forum for your OS.

  Here's something you can try in the meantime:

  @echo off
  for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%G in ('date /t') do set mmddyyyy=%%H-%%I-%%J
  xcopy d:\test c:\test /D:%mmddyyyy%

  Should be no problem to set it up via Windows Task Scheduler. I'd ask them over here about that.

  I'd avoid ITCG. Bill and jrv will just tell the OP to post in the platform forum, as the question is about how to use a utility and not about scripting.

  Just my two cents.

  Hi Mike,

  That's sad, really, as your suggestion is a batch file, which I thought were welcome there.

  By the way, congratulations!

  Hi Karl,

  Perhaps you're right, since the crux of the question is more about how to parse out the date via batch methods rather than just how to use xcopy.

  Also, thanks very much. To be perfectly honest, I didn't even realize I was nominated. =]
