Attaching timestamp to backup file

shahzamaj

I am creating a batch file to take the backup.
Whenever batch file is run, it will copy the existing file in a backup folder, eg with a timestamp on the newly created file.

cp /iw-home/local/config/templating.cfg /iw-home/local/config/backup/timestamp_templating.cfg



How do I attach a timestamp to the backup file ?

Can I place this batch file anywhere ? Or is there a particular location where this batch file need to be placed in order to run it ?

thanks
