Somehow i tried yours and it did not work, but this work for me @echo off set indir=\\Where\we\get\new\folder set outdir=\\Where\we\make\a\backup for /f "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`dir "%indir%" /ad /o-d /b`) do ( set recent=%%i goto cont ) :cont % xcopy \\Where\we\get\new\folder...

How do you get an newest directory in a folder and copy that new folder to another place?
1. Go to \\Where\we\get\new\folder
2. Call that latest foldername = recent
3. xcopy \\Where\we\get\new\folder\recent \\Where\we\make\a\backup\ /D/S/E

Thanks,
