Other values may be set by Windows command line interpreter for severe errors.

File-name is the name of the Windows file to wait for.
maximum-number-of-seconds is the maximum number of seconds WAITFILE will
wait. Default value is 0 seconds, preventing WAITFILE from waiting if the file does
not exist or is not available.
Testing the scripts manually
It is recommended to first test manually scripts in a Remote Desktop session to a
VTC, at the Windows command prompt, without involvement of the BackBox
software.
The parameters passed by the VTC can be manually set in a test script, using the
detailed description of script parameters in this manual.
Sample:
SET BBOX_VOLUME=LBVOL123
SET BBOX_SCRIPT_DIR=c:\script\
SET BBOX_FILE_IND=\\MTLBBLAB1\BPAK\WIN1\LBVOL123.ind
SET BBOX_FILE_DAT=\\MTLBBLAB1\BPAK\WIN1\LBVOL123.dat
…/…
BACKUP.CMD \\MTLBBLAB1\BPAK\WIN1\LBVOL123.ind ^
\\MTLBBLAB1\BPAK\WIN1\LBVOL123.dat
