I believe you're thinking too hard on the issue you want to achieve.
Say this .bak file is in a directory with all the rest of the .bak
files this Windows machine creates. If those are the only files and
they're based off a timestamp or not, if you have an incremental
backup that runs for the client and directory, the incremental will
only pick up the new .bak file. Really no need to get fancy with
wildcards or crazy regular expression type one liners to pick up one
file per day. Unless there's other .bak files you don't want backed up
from that directory, that'd really be the only reason to get fancy in
your fileset and job created for it.
