file copy from batch file

[JBowler]

I need to copy all files from one server to another nightly. I have
scheduled a task to run my batch file but my batch file has syntax errors.

This is the format of my batch file:

----------------------------------
copy *.* \\mother\data e:\backup

----------------------------------
backup.bat

What I want to do is copy everything but it only copies the the files and
not the folders. I know thats becasue I used *.*. I have tried xcopy and it
does the same. What command do I use to copy all files from a network share
(\\mother\data) to my destination (e:\backup)?

Many Thanks

You need to use the xcopy command instead.
There is build in help in de command window, type this:
help xcopy

I think the command should be:
xcopy \\mother\data\*.* e:\backup\ /E /Q
