Help with XCOPY for card backup?
I'm trying to use XCOPY from a command line window in WinXP to do backups of my Pocket PC's SD memory card onto my PC hard drive (using a card reader).

The card reader shows the SD card's contents on my K:\ drive.

I want to use a command like...
Quote:
xcopy K:\*.* C:\CurrentSDCardBackup /s /e /h /v /EXCLUDE:K:\My Documents\Pocket e-Sword\*
to copy everything except the Pocket e-Sword directory because it is static and very large.

(I also want to add additional exception directories if possible, but this single directory will really make the biggest difference for the time it takes to do backups.)

But I can't even get the syntax to work. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.
