question - batch file only works with "unofficial" directory name
Hello...
I'm using a command line batch file to backup files from my W7 Pro x64 machine to an external USB HD. Basically, "xcopy c:\......\my documents\*.*" "external HD". I couldn't get this to work until I truncated the source directory to "documents" instead of "my documents" [the name that the W7 installer specified]. While the batch file now runs and does what it's suppose to do, I'm mystified as to why the source directory needs to have a truncated name in the batch file rather that the one it has "officially." Any insight into this is appreciated.
