Re: Date
backup %DATE% %TIME%.zip
Using %DATE% & %TIME% will produce results that are formatted as per your Windows short date & long time formats (but with any path/name-illegal characters such as \ / : substituted by dashes, e.g backup 23-10-2018 11-42-31.zip). You cannot change the formatting of those Variables without changing the underlying formats globally in Windows.
The commercial SB versions have many date-part variables such as %YEAR%, %MONTH% %DAY% with which you can build your own format (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD) but these are not supported in the freeware version. There is a list of supported Variables in the Help (Help > Search > "variables" > top hit) and the freeware Help has an extra list of those variables which are only supported by a commercial version: there is a jump link to this freeware exclusion list in para-2 of the freeware Help on Variables
