Backup and restore scheduled tasks from Task Scheduler's root folder

This was created for Windows 7, but I supposed it could be edited or adapted to run on Windows 10

Code:

ECHO Notes:  Only tasks in the Task Scheduler's root folder will be backed up.
ECHO         Each scheduled task in the Task Scheduler's root folder is saved as an
ECHO         XML file in the current directory, with the task's name for file name.
ECHO         When restoring a scheduled task configured for a user other than the
ECHO         current user or SYSTEM, and neither /Q is specified nor a password
ECHO         provided, then you will be prompted for the "runas" user's password.
ECHO         Note that this password will NOT be masked while being entered.
ECHO         Tested in Windows 7 only.
