ECHO %TIME% myfile.name >>mylog.txt

That would append the current time and “myfile.name” to the text file named mylog.txt in the current directory.

You could echo a before-time, run the copy, then echo the after-time. It won’t be exact, but the difference should be very small. It can be tested easily from a Windows command line.
