Backup Data Files
I have a Windows XP Workgroup
Client wishes to copy the following directories from main XP Box to 2nd XP box C:\backup Directory
Backup folder on Box 2 is shared with all Rights.
Wishes to backup not as a backup but using either xcopy of robocopy the following directory Structures.
I am looking for format Usage:
C:\Documents and Settings\User1\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\User1\my Documents
How do I write the scripts to do this?

When I run the script it get the following error
Invalid Number of Paramaters.
I have tried moving the /s to the end, removing it and eveing making it
just to the q: drive.........Same Error
How would I set up either Robocopy or Xcopy32???
Where can I get a copy of Xcopy32?

put me on the path to resolution:
after much testing I used the following script and switches .
the Mapped Drive is the Z: Drive:
cd \
cd C:\Documents and Settings\User1\Desktop
xcopy *.* z:\desktop /S /Y
CD \
CD C:\Documents and Settings\User1\my Documents
xcopy *.* z:\DOCS /S /Y
CD\
exit
