You're wrestling with pigs and you'll get just as muddy!

I'm not trying to be too simplistic, but why not just copy your data to a 
3.5 floppy or a thumb drive and take it home? A batch will not solve the 
real problem.

Time to look for a new job Stefan! A smart person like you should have an 
easy go at that!

Best wishes and good luck!

so simple???

Hello,

I need your help again. I am using Windows XP. I want to copy files from 
C:\MyBackup\*.* to D:\
D is my CD Rom drive. I want to copy my backups to a writeable CD. Here 
is what I tried but it did not work???

 <at> echo off
Echo
Xcopy C:\Mybackup*.* D:\
End

I'm sure it is very simple but not when you don't know what you are 
doing! Many thanks!
Jabe

Appears to me you have it correct in the question portion of your post.
try:

 <at> echo off
Echo
Xcopy C:\Mybackup\*.* D:\

Re: so simple???

Hi again Jabe:
I don't know why Bob Blissinners code didn't work for
you. Might have something to do with how XP handles
the DOS command.com interpreter. My neighbors XP
handles DOS nicely but my kids XP just flat osticizes
DOS. Someone with more expertise than me can probably
advise.

I use a batch stream to periodically backup Ruths
games. I cd (change directory) to make my folder of
interest be my "current directory". Replace my games
directory in the copy command with your source folder
and my games.bak directory with your D:Backup
directory (folder). The dir command simply keeps a log
of the save activities.
I keep this batch file in the directory with my source
folder "games" and create a shortcut to my Windows95
desktop along side the shortcut to the game itself.
All Ruth needs to do is double click the batch file
shortcut icon to save her games.
Don't forget to go into DOS and check your COPY/? to
select your options......

=================
echo off
cd "C:\Program Files\Game Master\Solitaire Master\"
copy games\*.* games.bak\*.*/y
dir savelog.txt>>savelog.txt
cls
=================

Always give some clue *why* it does not work, and what the error message
was.  We weren't there, and ain't mind readers. :)

But for writing to rw cdrom then I suspect that you might like to
investigate The Nero command line tool NeroCmd.exe or the DAO suite from
www.goldenhawk.com, or a freeware suite which is/was cdrecord.

I doubt that Windows can use standard tools to write to cdr.

CreateCD - Windows XP and Windows 2003 command line CD Recording utility
Alex Feinman - is another.

Jabe,
Then we have other issues to deal with. The syntax you posted should work.

I use w98se and can't help further. Curious though, Can you write to your 
D: drive? What happens when you try (from a C:\ command line)

echo hello world >d:\jabe.txt

Do you find a file named jabe.txt?

best wishes

What error messages do you get at the moment when you run it?
