Good day to all

I am struggling with a backup batch file where I want to exclude temporary 
internet files.

One problem is that I don't know where to put the double quotes that 
surround a file or directory spec that contains spaces embedded within the 
name. Should the double quote include the '\*\*' or not?

I have tried various combinations of the following:

/x"\Temporary Internet Files"\*\*
/x"\Temporary Internet Files\*\*"
/x"*\Temporary Internet Files"\*\*
/x"*\Temporary Internet Files\*\*"

An example of the full command follows:

.\bin\dcopy32 %1 %2 /bu/x*.swp/x*.par/x"*\Temporary Internet Files\*\*" 
/onerror.log%3

I am using DCOPY32 version 2.40.0 I realize this is a very early copy of 
XXCOPY but it is what came with Datman and it allows me to backup all the 
machines on my network. I do not have enough paid licenses for XXCOPY-Pro 
for all the machines that I need to back up; DCOPY32 is licensed for all 
the machines I need to back up.

Any guidance gratefully accepted.
