[windows] Batchfile to create backup and rename with timestamp

Renames all .pdf files based on current system date. For example a file named Gross Profit.pdf is renamed to Gross Profit 2014-07-31.pdf. If you run it tomorrow, it will rename it to Gross Profit 2014-08-01.pdf.

You could replace the ? with the report name Gross Profit, but it will only rename the one report. The ? renames everything in the Conduit folder. The reason there are so many ?, is that some .pdfs have long names. If you just put 12 ?s, then any name longer than 12 characters will be clipped off at the 13th character. Try it with 1 ?, then try it with many ?s. The ? length should be a little longer or as long as the longest report name.
