Topic awaiting preservation: Is this ever possible? (Page 1 of 1)

I would like to do a daily backup on a directory in Windows 2000. Using a .bat file. I was thinking to create a directory each day, and then just use xcopy to copy the files I wanted to bacukp. I have tried many attempts, but not able to create the directory based on date? i.e.

C:\backup\11-06-2003
C:\backup\12-06-2003
.
.

Can someone please advice me of any way of doing this, other alternative or am I heading for something which is totally impossible?

Thank you.

hm... a little unsure where your problem actually lies...
a little

%source%="c:\my files"

%target%="d:\backup\%date%"



md %target%

xcopy %source% %target% /m /s /v /c /i /f /h /k /o /x /y

should do the trick.

Ps: You still should look into that xcopy parameter list. It's mostly from memory ;-)
