Help with Shell Script

I need to move a file from one directory to another directory along with version number.

Example:

mv /directory1/report /directory2/report.c01

Next time i need to move the same report to directory2 with the version number attached to the file.

mv /directory1/report /directory2/report.c02

Do this:

mv /directory1/report /directory2/report.c01
cp /directory2/report.c01 /directory2/report.c02

or first copy then move.

Hi thanks for the reply

But the above does not solve my problem. I get the report more than 10 times in the directory1 and have to move to the directory2 as below

report.c01
report.c02
report.c03

.
report.c10
