powershell should be able to return a timestamp for use in naming files, too...

what you describe for linux is a method i use, too... once i create the archive, i scp it to another machine or three... at least one is offsite...

interestingly enough, archiving and then backing up to a media is how many winwhatever backup solutions work... or they do an rsync-type backup where they move only the new and/or changed files... the question is how
automated do you want it and how much work are you willing to do to achieve this operation ;)
