os win xp sp2You'd have to do the setting up in scheduled tasks to run the batch, but the batch code would be as follows:

Code: [Select]@echo off
set day=%date%
set HOUR=%time%
md c:\dailybackups\%hour%%day%
xcopy c:\MyCertianFolder c:\dailybackups\%hour%%day%

Then add any switches ( /y /k /s etc ) you want at the end of the xcopy line. Just do a xcopy /? for a LIST of the switches.

I did the set for %date% and %time% just incase a second or so goes by between when you make the directory and the COPY happens, then the folder you are looking for won't exist when you copy.
