How to script a daily copy of files w/dt being name of archive folder

If the archive was going to be D:\MyArchives and the source was C:\Users\youruserid\SomeFolder:

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime ^| find "."') do set "dt=%%a"
set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%"
set "MM=%dt:~4,2%"
set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"

set datestamp=%MM%-%DD%-%YYYY%
echo datestamp: "%datestamp%"

md D:\MyArchives\%datestamp%
xcopy C:\Users\youruserid\SomeFolder\*.* D:\MyArchives\%datestamp%\ /s/h/r/i/k/e/y

Enter xcopy /? from a Command Prompt to see what the parameters mean.

Thank you! So I put this is some .bat file and trigger it through Task Scheduler?

Sorry, I'm not sure exactly how to do this. I think I may know, but just not sure.

Yes, put in a .bat file then schedule to run via Task Scheduler.

Test the heck out of it first though.
