title: creating powershell script to backup a file and append the date
body: <p>Currently I have a one line batch file to back up a file.  I run it manually when I need to back up a file.  The only thing I would like to add to it is the current date.  Here is what I have:</p>
  
  <p>xcopy /W /Y ACTIVE.DB ACTIVE.DB.BACKUP</p>
  
  <p>the destination file should simply be ACTIVE.DB.BACKUP.YYYYMMDD.  How would I go about creating a script that will allow me to double click on it from Windows Explorer and make the xcopy happen?</p>
