Answer 1

Since you are not uploading any files, try rename() function instead.
$Ignore = array(".","..","Thumbs.db");
$OriginalFileRoot = "files";
$OriginalFiles = scandir($OriginalFileRoot);
$DestinationRoot = "backups";
# Check to see if "backups" exists
if(!is_dir($DestinationRoot)){
mkdir($DestinationRoot,0777,true);
}
$Date = date('Y-m-d');
foreach($OriginalFiles as $OriginalFile){
if(!in_array($OriginalFile,$Ignore)){
$FileExt = pathinfo($OriginalFileRoot."\\".$OriginalFile, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); // Get the file extension
$Filename = basename($OriginalFile, ".".$FileExt); // Get the filename
$DestinationFile = $DestinationRoot."\\".$Filename.'_'.$Date.".".$FileExt; // Create the destination filename
rename($OriginalFileRoot."\\".$OriginalFile, $DestinationFile); // rename the file
}
}

The function move_uploaded_file is relevant for uploading files, not for other things.
To move file in the filesystem you should use the rename function:
$files = scandir('files');
$destination = 'backups/';
$date = date('Y-m-d');
foreach($files as $file){
if (!is_file($file)) {
continue;
}
$rename_file = $destination.$file.'_'.$date;
rename($file, $rename_file);
}
