Batch systems or batch processing systems are a type of application that processes a large amount of data (batch data) during its execution. They differ from traditional online systems (web) mainly in the following aspects:
- Graphical interface: To interact with web systems we use a web browser that displays some graphical interface of interaction with the system. In the case of batch systems, this interface does not exist, the system just needs to run and does not display any information for users. Think of the batch system as those routines that companies perform but customers don’t interact directly with them (e.g. email sending routines with promotions for customers)
- Data volume: A web system provides a restricted data set for each user. Batch systems, in turn, usually process a colossal set of data at once.
- Nature of Data: For web systems, data is usually available at that time to be processed, as it was provided by the user through the graphical interface of the system. A batch system may be responsible for processing data that has not yet arrived, but will arrive on a scheduled basis.
When you mention an online drive and a batch drive, the terms refer to data generated by web and batch systems respectively. This dynamic is common because most systems rely on some batch routine to obtain performance gains (batches are optimized for processing large amounts of data).

Good morning!
Batch processing means it is a sequential processing, it only goes to the next step after finishing the current step.
The windows file ". bat" are batch scripts.
The difference in batch and online processing is the relationship between processing and registration.
In batch processing, all processing is done and records are saved in a buffer (something of the kind). Then, at a certain time (at the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of the month, at a certain time, etc.) the records are made, in the same sequence as the processing.
In online processing, records are made shortly after the respective processing.
It’s kind of around.

[batch processing:] what that means ?
It is a term referring to a data processing that occurs through a batch of queued tasks, so that the operating system only processes the next task after the complete completion of the previous task, according to the Wikipedia.
What would be a batch file?
On the Windows platform a file batch is composed of one or more commands that will be executed in order.
In general terms, a batch file defines a set of data that will be used in serial processing.
What would be batch drives?
Without further information, I imagine it is a definition of movements (financial or otherwise) that occur in serial processing.
What’s the difference between a batch drive and an online drive?
Online refers to the environment of availability, not to the processing method.
