Batch files (those files ending in .bat) still run in 8.1. Look up writing batch files for this type of services.
You can then schedule the batch file to run everyday at a certain time, or trigger every 4 hours or whatever through system scheduler.
you can start with this:
You'd probably want to tweak a few things; options to change the way it works:
So you open notepad, write the code. save it as all files types with .bat on the end, then run it as administrator.
I have said it once, I will say it again. IT!

xcopy /s c:\source d:\target

/s/e - recursive copy, including copying empty directories.
/v - add this to verify the copy against the original. slower, but for the paranoid.
/h - copy system and hidden files.
/k - copy read-only attributes along with files. otherwise, all files become read-write.
/x - if you care about permissions, you might want /o or /x.
/y - don't prompt before overwriting existing files.
/z - This marks the file with indicators if copying fails, it knows it left off.

Hi mate,
That's great, thanks.
I've got it working now, and it's fine for the most part with files being renamed to the current date. Some files however are the previous days information and I'm just having issues trying to figure out how to get a file to be renamed to the previous date.
I've searched and seen some examples of getting the previous days date, but it's well over my head.
Any ideas?
