better way would be to create 4 backup jobs which are scheduled on you specific time and execute the copyjob to the specific week<br />
<br />
<b>Scheduled Task 1:</b><br />
xcopy C:\share \\192.168.1.9\c$\backup\we<wbr />ek1 /S /E /Y<br />
<br />
<b>Scheduled Task 2:</b><br />
xcopy C:\share \\192.168.1.9\c$\backup\we<wbr />ek2 /S /E /Y<br />
<br />
<b>Scheduled Task 3:</b><br />
xcopy C:\share \\192.168.1.9\c$\backup\we<wbr />ek3 /S /E /Y<br />
<br />
<b>Scheduled Task 4:</b><br />
xcopy C:\share \\192.168.1.9\c$\backup\we<wbr />ek4 /S /E /Y<br />
If you want a script anyway whihc is executed once per week with one scheduled task, then check the code below&gt;<br />

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

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
