hopefully someone here knows more than i do about this :D My ram drive really needs backing up lol.

here is the script from my batch file.

 

robocopy "B:\Ark\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved\" "C:\B_Backup\Ark\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved" /e
pause

 

its supposed to be a simple file copy but robo copy reads:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   ROBOCOPY     ::     Robust File Copy for Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Started : Sunday, 05 February 2017 6:14:09 PM
   Source - B:\Ark\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved" C:\B_Backup\Ark\steamapps\common\ARK\
     Dest - C:\B_Backup\Ark\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved\Survival\

    Files : Evolved
            Dedicated

  Options : /DCOPY:DA /COPY:DAT /R:1000000 /W:30

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I dont understand why it can't read my directories correctly. I used quotes...

Any guidance would be appreciated

I'm no expert on Robocopy but use it a bit. Try removing the last \ from the source directory listing. So it ends with \Saved"

Otherwise I think it is reading the " as the next directory name and creating the source and destination folders as the source location as per the screen output you pasted.

HTH
