Evening All

I am trying to create a robocopy script that prompts for the parameters to use, for example instead of hard coding the following: -

@Echo off
robocopy "C:\Users" "T:\Backup" /MIR /XA:SH /XD AppData /XJD /R:5 /W:8 /V /ETA /LOG:Backup.log /TEE
Pause

I would like to make a script that asks for the source & destination but still adds the above switches. Is this possible?

Kind Regards
Tor Fey
