Try this:

for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do copy
"\\server\directory\file" %%d-%%e-%%f-%%g.ext

Substitute "\\server\directory\file" with the actual location of
the file and "ext" with the actual extension of the file.

This will save the file on the current directory (where the batch
file is run) as something like 2009-9-3.ext

Since you only copy it once a week, using date as the file name
should be OK.

Try on a short file first. Use scheduler to set it to run once a week.

I'm not sure whether copy command would work over network. If not,
search for robocopy, download it and use it.

For further question, post to alt.msdos.batch.nt.
