Thank you, Mr. Riebisch, and my apologies for intruding by mistake into the

but only around the source, not the target. I'll experiment.

At first: This is a mailing list about FreeDOS. It's not about Windows XP's

Try (notice those `"'):
XCOPY "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\*.*" "I:\Backup\My
