How do I get a batch anchored to a folder for a backup operation on a USB stick where the drive letter always changes example:
@echo off
mkdir ..\subs
move /y .\*.srt ..\subs
pause
exit

You can use the command pushd to change the working directory, pass %~dp0 to indicate the file directory .bat, see an example:
@echo off
echo Diretorio atual %cd%
echo Diretorio do script %~dp0
REM Altera o diretório atual de trabalho
pushd %~dp0
echo Diretorio atual %cd%
pause
When using pushd %~dp0 you indicate that the current directory is the location where the file is located.
Exit:
Diretorio atual C:\Users\<usuario> Diretorio do script C:\Users\<usuario>\local\do\batch\ Diretorio atual C:\Users\<usuario>\local\do\batch\ Pressione qualquer tecla para continuar. . .

The flash drive has to have some brand to be checked. It can be like this: You create the subs folder on the flash drive that you will use for backup and place the code below in the folder.
@echo off
if EXIST d:\subs\*.srt set PENDRIVE=D:&goto backup
if EXIST e:\subs\*.srt set PENDRIVE=E:&goto backup
if EXIST f:\subs\*.srt set PENDRIVE=F:&goto backup
if EXIST g:\subs\*.srt set PENDRIVE=G:&goto backup
rem Acrescente outros Drives se quiser
echo NENHUM PENDRIVE ENCONTRADO.
goto fim
:backup
move /y .\*.srt %PENDRIVE%\subs
:fim
pause
