Problem
I want to run a daily incremental backup and append the day of the week to the file name so I end up with: backup_mon.bak backup_tue.bak etc. Not really bothered about what exactly is appended - 0 - 6 is fine. How do I go about this?

Fix for: Adding Day Of week to file name in batch file
Low Risk
Since you're using this for a backup, you are presumably running the script with admin privileges, in which case you can use wmic. Will give you the day of week as a number (Monday=1).
