Batch File Copy contents from one folder to another

I have the following folder structure : 

-folder1
 - Folder2
    - Folder3
        -Folder4
            -Folder5
                - Folder6
                - Folder7
                - Folder8
        -Folder9
            -Folder10
                - Some Files
                - package.bat

@echo off
set SOURCE=""
set DESTINATION="oer_distribution\"

REM ZIP app settings:
set ZIP_EXE="C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"
set ZIP_EXTENTION=zip
set ZIP_FILE_NAME=oer_distribution
set EXTRACT_KEY=x
set ARCHIVE_KEY=a
set FOLDER_TO_ZIP=oer_distribution
set ZIP_FILE_NAME=%ZIP_FILE_NAME%.%ZIP_EXTENTION%


:CREATE_FOLDER
echo ************************************************************
IF exist %DESTINATION% (
RMDIR /Q /S %DESTINATION%
echo %DESTINATION% deleted
)
mkdir %DESTINATION%
echo %DESTINATION% created

:COPY_CONTENTS
echo --------------------------------------------------------
 xcopy %SOURCE% %DESTINATION% /E
 echo contents copied from %SOURCE% to %DESTINATION%

:CREATE_ZIP
echo --------------------------------------------------------
echo Create ZIP file for distribute....
if exist %ZIP_FILE_NAME% del %ZIP_FILE_NAME%
rem "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "Folder2.zip" %DESTINATION%
%ZIP_EXE% %ARCHIVE_KEY% %ZIP_FILE_NAME% %FOLDER_TO_ZIP%\
echo zip file created


:DELETE_FOLDER
echo """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
RMDIR /Q /S %DESTINATION%
echo %DESTINATION% deleted

Now when I run the batch file from Folder10(package.bat) it has to copy all the contents from folder5, create a new Folder11 under Folder10 and copy the contents there.

My main problem is how to define the source and destination path.

Thanks

It appears your question is how to create the appropriate relative path to get from Folder10 (which is your current directory) to Folder5 and copy this to a new Folder11 beneath Folder10.

This being the case, you could just do this:

SET Source="..\..\Folder4\Folder5"

The ..\ will back up one level from the current directory, so this command moves like so:

Folder10 (current) > Folder9 (..\) > Folder3 (..\) > Folder4 > Folder5

It appears you already have the code to copy Source to Destination so the above path should do it.
