Is there any way you can put the current date to the filename of the created backup files? &nbsp;I've tried %T, %Y%M%D. &nbsp;In the examples in <a href="http://www.sswug.org/articles/viewarticle.aspx?id=21052" rel="ugc">http://www.sswug.org/articles/viewarticle.aspx?id=21052</a>, it seems the author did not even bother with dates in 8i, but has them in 9i. &nbsp;Is there no way to do this on 8i?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
