Question : How to create a log file (log_<date>.txt) for a DOS batch script

Hello Experts,
We have inherited an application whose database gets restored every week. The restore process is invoked by a dos batch file which is scheduled to run once a week. (see code snippet). The problem we have right now is that the scheduled task says it was successful but the restore history (MSDB..RestoreHistory) was not. Also the script doesn't have any logging mechanism which therefore we could not determine what really happened whether the steps it's supposed to do was successful or not.
I gues what i wanted to do was to include an output text file (log_<date>.txt) on each steps inside the script. Is this possible? Would anyone show/assist/refer us how...
