Re: Windows backup: append day of week to filename?

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.
