You can do without powershell, just add to the appropriate place
_%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%

example:

msbp backup [database] gzip file:///c:\database__%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%.gz

and the file c:\database_20130111.gz will be created.

AC,
Unfortunately there is nothing built-in to automatically put the date in the filename. The filename is completely specified by you.

I would look into scripting options to handle this. I don’t know about batch files, but I’d bet that powershell has to way to dynamically generate filesnames with the date.

How do I create backup with a file name .gz.bak.”date”. I don’t see that as an option when using msbp.

Thanks

The best guess what happened is that the site wasn’t hacked, but rather a comment was pointing back to a dodgy site. As soon as I removed the comment, the site status was restored by Google. In short, my site wasn’t distributing malware, but it had a link to a site that was.
