Xcopy |
|
|
Windows XP, SP-2
I'm having a lot of troubles using Xcopy in a batch file to backup files
from one drive to another. 1) it won't create a new folder that I designate
to copy files into on the target drive. 2) it seems to have real problems
with file names that have space separators. Where is there a good source of
info, including real examples, on using Xcopy? |

what syntax you are using?
For examples you could check
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx
or

Have you checked out robocopy from the resource kit? I find it a lot better
than xcopy and use it all the time.... |
