Creating a backup batch file for backing up my programming code

Question

Just been reading through the questions that other people have been asking about batch files, and can't find anything useful.

I am wanting to backup all of my c# code, using a batch file. Please help me to find out what I am doing wrong?

This is what I am asking my batch file to run:

copy C:\Visual Studio Express\Test Programs\Program 1\ c:\Backup Code\

Everytime I find some code on google, it shows something like this:

copy C:\Fred\*.exe g:

Now that is useless to me, as I tried that, and that code has got no spaces in, like mine does.

If you can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try:

copy "C:\Visual Studio Express\Test Programs\Program 1\" "c:\Backup Code\"

That said, you can run a source control repository locally, take a look at this tutorial for some information on how to setup a "local" SVN source control repository. This can function as a backup and has the added advantage of giving you a history of backups.
