Windows Batch File Help

[N3cTr0]

Curious to know, I'm trying to create a batch file that creates a folder with the current date, and then copies certain directories into that new dated folder. How would i go about doing that? I will then add that batch to windows scheduler to have it run daily so i can have a daily backup of whats in those folders.

If someone could help me with that i would appreciate it. Also if there is another way or a program that does what I'm asking please could you let me know about it.

mkdir %date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~0,2%

the rest is a piece of p1ss

 

[pip]

mkdir c:\tst1\%DATE%
copy c:\test2\*.* c:\tst1\%DATE%

Thanks for the response. I'll try both methods and choose one that better suits me.

I want to write a log file that writes the date and time that I log into my pc to a file. I'll put it in the startup to run everytime i log in, but I need it to write to the same log file and add a line at the bottom of the file.

Any ideas?

Something like in a timedate.bat:

@echo off
echo %DATE% %TIME% >> <path>\t.txt
