   You could use Environment Variables to provide unique destination   
   filenames; such as the current date:   
      
   copy  filename.ext  filename_%DATE%.ext   
      
   ...which would result in an example filename, of the copied file;   
      
   copy MyNotes.doc  MyNotes_04-08-13.doc   
      
   ...in a batch file, this might look like the following;   
      
     @echo off   
     echo.   
     for %%I in (*.*) do call :SUB#1 %%I   
     goto :EOF   
      
     :SUB#1   
     if EXIST %1 echo "%~n1%~x1" "%~n1_%DATE%%~x1"
