Back up with a Batch file

Back up with a batch file:
This batch file has a menu and an Unattended option.

I have created this back up with a menu i created this batch file for my own personal PC, but you may copy, paste and modify it to suit your own needs.

Points to remember when modifying
Use the correct user and drive letters and paths.
Email path directories will vary  from user to user and is also dependent on the email program used.
(For instance my email is  program is microsoft outlook and the data file -PST- is located in Outlook folder in root directory of my C: drive.- not standard but that is where mine is.)
