Having trouble with batch files,
ok, my batch file looks like this(all on one line)

copy C:\Program Files\dominions2\virtue\*.* C:\Program Files\dominions2\virtue\bak


I get a "too many parameters" error. I believe it is because dos is reading the space between "program" and "files" and it is messing it all up. How do you put in a directory that has a space in it without dos thinking it is a new command? or maybe something else is wrong with my batch file????
You know, don't use dos for hmmmmmmm...8 or 9 years and you even forget the basics.

Put "" around your names :

copy "C:\Program Files\dominions2\virtue\*.*" "C:\Program Files\dominions2\virtue\bak\"

this should work. I also added a \ at the end, to make sure copy doesn't bundle all your files into one file named bak, but puts them in a subfolder named bak.

Another solution would be to put your batch file in your virtue subfolder, and just do :
copy *.* bak\
