File Backup with Timestamps - 6/20/2008 8:04:04 AM

I need to create a vbscipt that will do a file backup at a given time interval and when adding the file to the new directory it will add a time stamp or add the file without overwriting the previous file that was saved to that directory. I can not figure out how to do this any other way and I can not get a third-party application to do it for me.

Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you are trying to do an incremental backup. You will not be able to do this without changing the file name, putting the file into a directory structure based on date/time, or packing the files in a zip/tar/bkf. Is it necessary to have the files in "raw" format? If not why don't you use shadow copies or just setup a scheduled inceremental backup using NTbackup? If none of these will work, then we need more detail as to exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
