[NTLUG:Discuss] cop files with dynamic prefix

[m m]

All:

Can anyone help me with a script?

1. copy all files and sub directories in myfolder to backup directory
2. create a directory under backup and automatically add date as prefix
3.  copy all files and sub directories in myfolder to newcreated directory

for example

the original folder/files
somepath/myfolder/*

after copy on the day of 12/14
the folder  will have
backup/myfolder12142006/*

and

after copy on the day of 12/14
the folder  will have
backup/myfolder12142006/*
backup/myfolder12152006/*
...

Does the shell can do it or need other 'language' tool (such as perl...) to 
achieve this task?
Any code example would be appreciated!

thanks.
