This works to put the date in the filename on Windows 2000:
In a .bat file:
@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ("%date%") do (
set dow=%%i
set month=%%j
set day=%%k
set year=%%l
)
set datestr=%month%_%day%_%year%
echo datestr is %datestr%
set BACKUP_FILE=MYDB_%datestr%
echo backup file name is %BACKUP_FILE%
This creates a filename MYDB_mm_dd_yy. When you run the little test .bat
script above, you will get:
datestr is 06_30_2005
backup file name is MYDB_06_30_2005
Hope this helps.

Hello.
I would appreciate if someone helps me to resolve this problem about
regular backups on Windows. I have a batch file (.bat) for backup, but
don't know how to include timestamp in backup file name. In this way I
allways have only one, the most recent, backup file. I want Windows to
produce regular backups with timestamp in file's name...The script is the
following:
pg_dump -f D:\MYDB_BCP -Fc -x -h localhost -U postgres MYDB
How to include timestamp ?
