Can the program create a folder with the name of the current date and save all backups for that day in this folder

[JustMan]

Hello everybody! Sorry for my English (using a translator).
I use Cobian to backup data in my office. Everything is fine, but there is a question.
Can the program create a folder with the name of the current date (for example, 2021-01-14) and save all backups for that day in this folder. It would be more convenient for me if the backups were in the context of dates, and not sources.
I tried to specify destination path like "\\nas\Backup\%DATE" in the settings of the task, but the program does not understand the "%DATE" variable, although it does understand some other variables.
Maybe there are some other variables or ways?

Hi.

I imagine you are using the program without the "compact" function enabled. There was a time when I did that to. Nowadays I've using the "compact" function and 7-zip to extract anything I need. In both cases, the software do use a date in the name of the folder with compacting disable, or the file name otherwise.

Use the "Create separated backups" function for your task.

Thanks for answers! These methods do not create a new directory every day with today's date. I made a bat file that creates a directory everyday and after the task transfers the archive there.
Now I have folders created, for example:
2021-01-15
2021-01-16
2021-01-17
2021-01-18
and the archives from the temporary folder are transferred there.

You could use parameters as well. (See the help file) . %DATENOTIME should do it.

It works! Thank you!
