Copy folder-files from one location to another including Date-Time stamp?

Question

Hello, can someone provide me a .bat batch script that I can run that will copy all the contents (files and subfolders) from one local folder to another different location and includes Date-Time stamp to the Hour & Minutes?

i.e. copy "C:\Backups" to different location "\SharedDifferentDisk\Backups_20210330_1500"

And then when I run it again like 15 minutes later the next time it will create another new destination folder like "\SharedDifferentDisk\Backups_20210330_1515"

Any type of free built in copy like xcopy or robocopy or something else is good.

Thanks in advance.

You could use PowerShell to copy the items.
