this sounds like homework 
however, are you aware that saveqmgr "only" saves the object definitions into a file, and does not take a backup of the qmgr ?!?

The file created has a timestamp. With the -f the file name will be <queue manager name>.mqsc and the file has the creation date and time.
Or you can play with DOS environment variables DATE and TIME to define the file name.

If you run saveqmgr twice, with the -f option given the same value, then the second attempt will overwrite the first attempt.
But I agree that the file produced will have a timestamp that reflects this....
Your second suggestion is the correct route here, use normal shell scripting techniques to produce a unique file name that is then passed to -f. Whether or not this includes the date and time is a separate question.
I suppose one could also use normal shell scripting techniques to check in a file that has a fixed name into a version control system. the VCS would then be responsible for ensuring that the first run was available as well as the second run. But it was not clear if that is what you were suggesting. |

The second run appends the output to the existing file, the flag "-o" can be used to overwrite.

You would think that I'd know that off the top of my head.

Yeah, something like this:
| Code: |
set qmgrname=YOURQMGRNAME
rem Generate YYYYMMDD date stamp
set today=%date:~10%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%
saveqmgr.exe -m %qmgrname% -o -f %qmgrname%.%today%.defs.txt -z %qmgrname%.%today%.oam.txt |

Very good! Or like this
set "QmgrName=<queue manager>"
set "TimeStamp=%date%%time%"
set "TimeStamp=%TimeStamp:-=%
set "TimeStamp=%TimeStamp::=%
set "TimeStamp=%TimeStamp:,=%
saveqmgr -m <queue manager> -f %QmgrName%.%TimeStamp%.mqsc
