- Windows backup: append day of week to filename?
- Posted by Terry R. on July 3rd, 2008
The date and time was 7/2/2008 9:48 PM, and on a whim, darius pounded
out on the keyboard:
Hi Darius,
I would think using the /f command line parameter and using some DATE
variables you could accomplish it. Pegasus will probably have what you
need.

Since I hear my name mentioned, I suppose I have to reply!
To the OP: What is your current backup command?

If you create a new backup run with the GUI then you have to
type the day of the week when prompted for a destination file
name.
If you get the GUI to schedule the backup run for the various
days of the week then you need to modify the backup task
in the Control Panel / Task Scheduler. A good starting point
would be to post the command line you see under the properties
of that task.

Well done! (This is actually a bit of an FAQ)
