  So, now I can post the transcripts. In fact, I have three batch files.

  It is just for information, as my former problems have been solved.

  I apologize for posting Windows batch files to a Linux newsgroup.

  1. All three batch files start with:

set "GIT_EXE=..."
set "GIT_DIR=..."
set "GIT_WORK_TREE=..."

  where "..." are three different file system paths omitted here.

  2. The initialization:

mkdir "%GIT_DIR%"
cd "%GIT_DIR%"
"%GIT_EXE%" init

  3. The backup:

cd /d "%GIT_DIR%"

"%GIT_EXE%" add .

for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/:. " %%a in ("%date% %time%") do (
    set "timestamp=%%a-%%b-%%c_%%d-%%e-%%f"
)

"%GIT_EXE%" commit -m "Backup on %timestamp%"

  4. The listing

cd /d "%GIT_DIR%"

"%GIT_EXE%" -C "%GIT_DIR%" log --oneline

  I have not yet tried to restore something, but I would use 
  "%GIT_EXE% checkout <commit-id>" for this.
