Create unique "StaplesBackup" folder name #5

Looking into appending the current date and time in a format that's compatible with folder naming coonventions.

This way if customer returns again, we wouldn't overwrite our existing backup if one exists

Possible solution?

The only issue I can easily see with this is possible name too long errors being created by this - but it's definitely a workable idea.

Robocopy supports path names over 32,000 characters long, unlike File Explorer copy and pasting which go up to about 256. So I think that should be fine.
