The log file's timestamp should tell you that.
But, if you want to name the log file using the date value,
you may do so by using the macro feature.

http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy24.htm

E.g., add the following switch in the command

/ON:c:\mydir\BU/$yyyy-mm-dd$.log

(creates a log file, BU2004-02-04.LOG in c:\mydir\ directory).

Or encode further by /ON:c:\mydir\BU_/$ymmdd$.LOG

The filename will be BU_40204.LOG (the first digit is
the last digit of the current year (2004)).
