The Scheduler is a tool available in NT which can be used to run scheduled jobs. The tool is available with the NT resource kit.

To perform a cold backup you could shutdown the database by running a batch file at a scheduled time, then use another batch file to bring the databases back up. This works with SQLDBA. You may be able to use NT's backup tool to perform the backup at the scheduled time. To perform a hot backup you could use the OCOPY tool along with a batch file. Hope this helps.
