I want to make a .bat file that when opened will copy a folder and all it contains into another folder on another partition. Here is exactly what I am trying to do:
Copy C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\????????? and all it contains to D:\Backup. I have tried with many xcopy commands but without result. Thanks.
I launched the command prompt with /k and saw this
which made me think there is a problem with the font. I installed new font that should fix this (YGP_NT) but I am having the same problem (yes, I changed it from the cmd Properties, edited the TrueTypeFont with regedit and restarted the PC). I can write in cyrillic in the cmd if that can help.
This question is related to
windows
batch-file
cmd
The answer is
xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\?????????" "D:\Backup" /s /e /y /i
Probably the problem is the space.Try with quotes.
xcopy "%userprofile%\Desktop\?????????" "D:\Backup\" /s/h/e/k/f/c
should work, assuming that your language setting allows Cyrillic (or you use Unicode fonts in the console).
For reference about the arguments: http://ss64.com/nt/xcopy.html
xcopy e:\source_folder f:\destination_folder /e /i /h
The /h is just in case there are hidden files. The /i creates a destination folder if there are muliple source files.
