I have several batch files in place that copy files over to a backup server. Is there a way to write an IF statement that will cause the batch files to look at the current day or date and copy the files to a specific folder?

I recently read a post in a Windows Server Forum that suggested the use of Batch files to handle a login tracking function. Now days people would just go buy an application to handle something like that. Not only was this a throwback to the 90???s hay day of DOS 5 and 6, but it was also nostalgic to see someone recommending an old school solution to a modern problem.
Inspired to do some research, I have listed some pretty cool Batch File Sites below. Hopefully you too will remember when batch files were the bomb.
