First open up the command line. go to start , then click on RUN type in cmd or command based on your system it self. Once at the command line you will need to type in the following.

xcopy C:the_location of your folder E:the location where you save it to /E /I /C

now using /E /I /C is opitional as it is not needed to backup your files but it will save you a lot of headaches in the end.

/E will backup all folders & subfolders
/I basically tell it that the directory exist while transfer is in progress
/C will continue to backup even if an error happens like say a corrupt file rather then stoping the whole backup process.
