We put all of our RMAN backup commands in a .cmd file. The cmd file references each database and runs an RMAN script. It is scheduled through the windows task scheduler.

I usually work on Linux or Unix and not really familiar with scripting on a Windows server. Any advice on automating the script will be helpful too.
