I'm trying to use xcopy to copy over several files and directories onto an external hard drive. The following command works fine…
xcopy d:\location\folder /e
… except it's not copying over any files/directories withing d:/location/folder that have spaces. I understand that Windows requires file names with spaces need to be enclosed in quotes, but what do I do if I'm trying to do a huge recursive copy where there may be several files or folders with spaces in the name?
