Backup batch file

[Kaya]

Hello everyone,

please forgive me if my question is silly but I do not know anything about batch files. I do, however need to have one that would do the following:
1. check to see if anything is written on a zip disk
2. delete all files from that disk if they are present
3. copy files from network drive onto this zip disk
I'm sure this is done easily - but I am no computer wiz and I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance.

try something with these lines these works if you work under windows xp, because you didn't telled your os!

@echo off
if exist A:/*.* goto exist
echo no zip disk inserted
copy
:exist
del A:/*.*
goto copy
:copy
copy "your network drive" "a:/"
pause

Thank you again. I do have another question though. How can I make this script backup folder and not just its content?
I was looking at DOS section...but with no results... sorry.. :-?
