I finally figured it out! Every example I used didn't work, and I realized it was because long filenames and folder names were confusing xcopy. Here is the script I ended up using with no problems: @echo off set folder=Backup_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2% mkdir E:\ACCOUNTING_BACKUPS...

I'm trying to write a batch file that will create a folder using the current date, then copy a folder of files with sub directories to this folder. I can create the dated folder, but can't figure out how to instruct xcopy to copy everything to the folder that was just created. Anybody have any ideas?
