:1,2s-: -:^V^M-|-1s-/-\\-g|j

Now it works for 2 lines.

More vim :

Current file :
:%s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+g

All loaded files :
:bufdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+g

Scriptlike :
I.)
$ vim -esc ':argdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+g|wqa' file1 file2 ...

II.)
$ cat my_subst.vim
argdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+g
wqa
$ vim -esS my_subst.vim file1 file2 ...

-m

Current file :
:%s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+g

All loaded files :
:bufdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+ge

Scriptlike :
I.)
$ vim -esc ':argdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+ge|wqa' file1 file2 ...

II.)
$ cat my_subst.vim
argdo %s+\v(^[^:]*:[^:]*)@<=/+\\+ge
wqa
$ vim -esS my_subst.vim file1 file2 ...

Better add the 'e' flag.
