Try this. &nbsp;If you run <b>xcopy /?</b> you can see all the params you can apply, I included only /E which copies all subfiles and folders including empty ones.<br />

<pre><code id="code-317549">@echo off
set _folder=%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%
if not exist &quot;f:\_%folder%&quot; mkdir &quot;f:\%_folder%&quot;
xcopy &quot;c:\isd&quot; &quot;f:\_%folder%&quot; /e</code></pre>

DOS Batch Script

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
