Thank everyone very much for suggestions

Within the batch file, will it be possible to create a folder named by
today
before copy into this folder? such as
"F:\My Backups\291108", which stands for 29-Nov-2008
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes, it is, but the method depends on the date format generated by your
installation. Do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
echo %date%{Enter}
- Report exactly what you see.
