Issue the Backup Command To A Set Of Drives

The second modification is to issue the RoboCopy backup commands to each of a set of drives.

AllDrive.BAT

TITLE %0 - Process all available drives
REM parameter 1 should be the Backup drive root folder e.g. "X:\LAP\"
:Loop
if "%1"=="" GoTo Finish
:: For %%a in (G P C D) do ProcessDrive %%a %1
For %%a in (T) do ProcessDrive %%a %1
call %0 %1 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
:Finish
REM END

We modify our AllDrive.BAT batch file to work its way along a set of drive letter parameters, muchas we did for the batch file “ WaitSet.BAT ”
