Automatically create folder in Destination Drive Through Vb Script
I am using robocopy function to copy my file from source to destination using below command.I have created .vbs script like below,I am using Windows2007
Set oShell=WScript.CreateObjec
objSource = "C:\Sudhanshu\WebSite"
objdestination = "D:\WebSites\Archive"
strSource = Chr(34) & objSource & Chr(34)
strTarget = Chr(34) & objdestination & Chr(34)
strParms = " /s /MIR /LOG+:" & Chr(34) & "D:\WebSites\Archive\vbsLo
oShell.Run "robocopy " & strSource & " " & strTarget & strParms
It is working fine,I have set this to scheduler also.But What I want is if I can create destination file name automatically with today date and time.This way, I will not need to manually create Destination folder name,So it will first create a folder on Destination Drive say I will just mention that location as D:\WebSites so it will create todaydate folder say 13July2015 with time and copy source file to destination file.Please help me.
Regards,
Sudhanshu
