batch file - Rename network folder with spaces in it -


i have folder on remote server named backup job [hostname].[date] located in \\xxx\backup\hostname want rename backup. since [hostname] , [date] added later on don't know exact filename in advance.

when try rename folder remote computer following line

for /d %f in (\\xxx\backup\hostame\backup*) rename %f backup 

it gets translated into

rename \\xxx\backup\hostame\backup job hostname.date backup 

and throws a

syntax incorrect 

i pretty sure due spaces in folder name, how past this?

the skript missing needed quotation marks explained in comments of question. line should have been:

for /d %f in (\\xxx\backup\hostame\backup*) rename "%f" backup
