Windows batch script to move files

Question

I need to move files from one directory to another in windows, and I need to write this in a batch script.

We have written a SQL job where backup files will be created e

Answer 1

move c:\Sourcefoldernam\*.* e:\destinationFolder

^ This did not work for me for some reason

But when I tried using quotation marks, it suddenly worked:

move "c:\Sourcefoldernam\*.*" "e:\destinationFolder"

I think its because my directory had spaces in one of the folders. So if it doesn't work for you, try with quotation marks!
