ADB pull auto date

Hi all,

I am creating a batch file to run the ADB pull command so I can have my PC task scheduler run an Android backup automatically.

The one thing that is stumping me, though, is how to succesfully have the batch file auto date stamp the folder. I have this:

adb pull /sdcard/ /Galaxy Nexus Auto Backup/sdcard %date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-4,4%/

which displays correctly in the CMD prompt, but doesn't run. It instead brings up the list of commands and switches.

If I use the standard:

adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

it works correctly. Any suggestions on how to get the date stamp idea to work?

Thanks!!!
-David
