xcopy issues from local to network drive
Hello all. newbie here.
strange problem with xcopy.. started happening only with this specific batch file i wrote to back files up to my network drive. Basically i'm backing three local drives "I: (thumb drive) C: and E: To my network drive. X: (which is a seagate goflex home if that means anything..)
with this specific batch file i cannot seem to copy anything local to my network drive. instead i get a "invalid path" error message. this is my script.
to make matters even more weirder i have another script that i use to backup my itunes library to my network drive, which oddly enough works just fine.Code:@echo off :restart echo NETWORK DRIVE BACKUP AND RESTORE SCRIPT. echo Would You like to backup, or load? set input= set /p input=load,backup, or exit? if %input%==load goto load if %input%==backup goto backup if %input%==exit goto exit echo not a valid input goto restart :backup xcopy "I:\*.*" "X:\Thumb drive" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\My Documents\" "X:\Documents" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" "X:\Saved Game Files\Minecraft" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim" "X:\Saved Game Files\Skyrim" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\My Documents\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY" "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Local\Microsoft\GFWLive" "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\GFWLive" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xlive" "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\Xlive" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\Appdata\Local\SWTOR\" "X:\swtor" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "E:\Backgrounds" "X:\Backgrounds" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 Xcopy "E:\Applications" "X:\Applications" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 xcopy "E:\Iphone" "X:\Iphone" /E /T /I /Y /D:5-15-2012 echo Files Successfully Copied pause exit :load Xcopy "X:\Thumb Drive" "I:\*.*" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Saved Game Files\Minecraft" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" /E /I /Y xcopy "x:\Saved Game Files\Skyrim" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\My Documents\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\GFWLive" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Local\Microsoft\GFWLive" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Saved Game Files\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\Xlive" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xlive" /E /I /Y xcopy "I:\swtor" "C:\Users\Dwight Sarmiento\Appdata\Local\SWTOR\" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Backgrounds" "E:\Backgrounds" /E /I /Y Xcopy "X:\Applications" "E:\Applications" /E /I /Y xcopy "X:\Iphone" "E:\Iphone" /E /I /Y echo Files Successfully Loaded pause exit :exit exit
I'm not sure what im missing here, the "network drive backup and restore script" worked fine once. and now, not so much.Code:@echo off :restart echo ITUNES LIBRARY BACKUP AND RESTORE SCRIPT echo would you like to backup, or load? set input= set /p input=load,backup, or exit? if %input%==load goto load if %input%==backup goto backup if %input%==exit goto exit echo not a valid input goto restart :backup xcopy "E:\Itunes Library" "X:\Itunes Library" /E /Y echo files Successfully Copied pause exit :load xcopy "X:\Itunes Library" "E:\Itunes Library" /E /Y /D:5-15-2012 echo files Successfully Loaded pause exit :exit exit
if anyone has any ideas on whats going wrong with my first script, i'd appreciate it.
thanks,
