I am good at script, request your help...

Backup.bak file store in local drive, location d:\data\back\backup.audit
I want to run the script which will copy the file everyday or weekly from the above location to D:\generation

I am looking for script which will copy the file in sequence with date and time it copy..also possible of having log file to know the file name change from source file to new file name with ddmmyyyyhhmmss.

I tried both .... .bat and .vbs
It didn't work

vikas_madhusudana

how are you running the script?

I guess you should save the file as ANSI encoding as below (use nodepad)

echo %datetime%
copy "D:\Backup\from DB\backup.bak" "D:\Backup\to CommVault\backup_%datetime%.bak"
