@AlBundy What a fantastic answer!! 
Thanks a lot, I have a lot to learn. Even the “%~dp0” was new to me. Now I know what it is about.
I will try to put this material into practice. So far I was running two BATs on the Task Scheduler, one with a script to run the backup and the other to send me the report by mail.
The DOS Window is visible running commands like this? Or is invisible / minimized?
If you want to see the window, you can set your user in the task settings.
Here is an screenshot that shows the setting:
On my work pc I run the backup hourly invisible for me.
On my private pc I run the tasks visible once after each login.
Thanks again! I was looking to hide the DOS windows so my clients wouldn’t be tempted to close them or interrupt the backup
repository.txt
Within this file you describe the repository?
Like:
restic -r rclone:backup:restictest --verbose backup
???
yes - in your case
rclone:backup:restictest
