Scheduling jobs on windows

What is the best way 开发者_如何学JAVAof scheduling simple batch jobs on windows? My current need is to dump some SVN repositories each night and FTP the dumps to our external FTP side and then e-mail one or more people that the backup has completed/failed.

This sounds like the sort of thing I would usually do in a unix script + cron. Is that possible on windows? Perhaps using Cygwin?
