Can someone help me with a Dos script?

[Arkitech]

I'm trying to create a Dos script that will backup a clients hard drive to a server. That problem I'm having is that I need to include a way for the client to type in their user id and then have the script create a folder name from that id. Can someone point me in the right direction or maybe to a website that might have information on something like this?

thanks

what OS are the clients? If NT,2K or XP you can use the %username% environmental variable which contains the username of the logged on user.
