Batchfile to create backup and rename with timestamp

Tags:

I have the following network path to copy the file to an archive folder. It copies File 1 from Folder to Archive but I would like to add these 2 adjustments that won't work.

  1. Rename File 1-1 to File 1 - date + time
  2. Running it now displays a cmd box with the copy code, is it possible to run it in the background or have a loading screen to show the progress?

For my code I followed this example to change the name to a date.

copy "F:\Folder\File 1.xlsx" "F:\Folder\Archive\File 1-1.xlsx"
/f "tokens=1-5 delim s=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do rename "F:\Folder example 2.xlsx" "F:\Folder\File example %%e-%%f-%%g.xlsx"

How do I batch rename files sequentially?

You can press and hold the Ctrl key and then click each file to rename. Or you can choose the first file, press and hold the Shift key, and then click the last file to select a group.
