I don't have problems with bat files containing paths with ! and similar chars.

Use Winrar.
Or map C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Mail\ to a drive letter like X:\ using the SUBST command.
Then backup X:\*.*

using a bat file to backup my mail account dir. xcopy and robocopy seem to not like the "!" in the dir name even if i surround the string with double quotes.


any ideas?
