Rename files to include date and time stamp

An easy way to uniquely rename files (e.g. log files) to include a date and time stamp is to use the freeware utility RenTS.

While there are many options available, usage can be as simple as:

RenTS C:\Backup-logs\Backup.log

... which will rename Backup.log to Backup yyyymmdd-hhmmss.log
