    I am trying to backup my iphone's backup folder so if my computer ever dies I'll have it backed up on another drive. The folder is in C: users\username\appdata

    the appdata is a hidden folder and I cant seem to get the batch file to work. Can i not use batch files to copy hidden folder or system folders?

    im running vista ultimate

    You should be able to, but you need to make sure that you have Vista set to "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
