how to sequential backup to a single dir with timestamps

Thread needs solution

c:\
file.txt

c:\backup @1pm
file.txt

after file.txt is modified, the next backup looks like

backup 2 @2pm
file.txt (newest version doesn't have time stamp but it is 2pm and is referenced in then next backup)
file.txt 1pm

after file.txt is modified again, the next backup looks like

backup 3 2:30pm
file.txt (newest version doesn't have time stamp but it happend at 2:30pm, and is referenced in the next backup)
file.txt 2pm
file.txt 1pm

if the newest file has to have a timestamp, that's fine too

another example

c:\ @1pm
Folder_01
file.txt

c:\backup @1pm
Folder_01
file.txt CREATED 1pm

c:\ @2pm
Folder_01
>new-file-in-Folder_01 named file2.txt
file.txt

c:\backup @2pm
Folder_01 > file2.txt created @2pm
file.txt CREATED 1pm

c:\ @3pm
Folder_01 DELETED
file.txt modified @3pm

c:\backup @3pm
Folder_01 > file2.txt created @2pm
file.txt MODIFIED 3pm
file.txt CREATED 1pm

NOTICE that by 3pm, all files remain in the backup directory,
files are only APPENDED to this dir, it is NOT receiving a mirror and updating upon the deletion of Folder_01

is this possible with this software?
please advise, thanks

I would recommend using a batch file for this specific operation. Although we do not have ready made batch files for this scenario, but you can try creating your own, and then run it according to the instructions in this article.
