adding timestamp to name
 

was thinking of making a very easy backup thingy to backup a single directory.
i'll make a simple cron script like this

cp <directory> /mnt/hdd2/backup/ -R

now, my question is: is there any way of adding a timestamp to the destination name? like <dest.directory><current date> ?

just add `date format here, see manpage` INCLUDING backticks to the filename

thanks
