Copy all files and renaming them

Question

Hi
My SQL script needs to copy all backup files in a folder to another one while renaming them at the same time by adding the time stamp like this: Originalfilename[Timestamp].bak
Basically the script looks like this:
declare
@cmdstring varchar(1000)
declare
@filenamestr varchar(100)
set
@filenamestr =
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
set
@cmdstring =
'copy \\Webserver\BackupStorage\SQLbackup\*.*
\\Webserver\BackupStorage\SQLbackupArchive\'
exec
master..xp_cmdshell
@cmdstring – this part is not complete
What code needs to be added to rename each file during the copy process?

SET NOCOUNT ON;
declare @sourcepath varchar(1000) = 'C:\temp\',
  @destinationpath varchar(1000) = 'C:\MyFiles\'
 CREATE TABLE #FileList
     FileID INT IDENTITY(1, 1)
    ,Line VARCHAR(512)
 CREATE TABLE #temp
     isFileThere BIT
    ,isDirectory BIT
    ,parentDirExists BIT
    CREATE TABLE #output
  result varchar(500)
 DECLARE @Command VARCHAR(1024)
 ,  @RowCount INT
 ,  @counter INT
 ,  @FileName VARCHAR(1024)
 ,  @FileExists BIT
 SET @Command = 'dir '+@sourcepath+'  /A-D  /B'
 INSERT #FileList
        EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @Command
 DELETE FROM #FileList
 WHERE  Line IS NULL
 SELECT @RowCount = COUNT(*)
 FROM   [#FileList]
 SET @counter = 1
 WHILE ( @counter <= @RowCount )
    BEGIN
        SELECT  @FileName = [Line]
        FROM    [#FileList]
        WHERE   [FileID] = @counter
        SET @Command = 'copy /-Y
'+@sourcepath+'*.txt '+@destinationpath
  insert into #output
     EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @Command
     SET @Command = 'REN
'+@destinationpath+''+ @FileName +' '+ LEFT(@FileName,CHARINDEX('.',@FileName)-1)+'_rename.'+SUBSTRING(@FileName,charindex('.',@Filename)+1,len(@FileName))
     print @command
        SET @counter = @counter + 1
        IF LEN(@Command) > 0
            EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @Command
    END
 DROP TABLE #output
 DROP TABLE #FileList
 DROP TABLE [#temp]
