I have some basic questions- I read through the following:

The plone.org  website, the User's Guide to Plone (from Enfold- we run
proxy server on windows IIS6) and I read a good chunk of the Martin
Aspelli book.

My questions are- 

1. I use the ZMI to pack the DB every Friday and I have yet to get how
to run the repozo script to make backups- I wrote a .bat file and I seem
to be having problems determining the PYTHONPATH that is a requirement
in running repozo.py. In windows I assuming (perhaps incorrectly-) that
the PATH is looking for python.exe. I have included a copy of our .bat-
maybe some one has a tip?

SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Python24
"C:\Python24\python.exe" "E:\dpsnc_site\bin\repozo.py" -Bvz -r
"E:\backup" -f "E:\dpsnc_site\var\filestorage\Data.fs"

'My file locations 
'C:\Python24\python.exe  - location of our python.exe
'E:\dpsnc_site\bin\repozo.py - location of the repozo.py file
'E:\backup - folder created to store the backup.
'E:\dpsnc_site\var\filestorage\Data.fs - location of our database -
Data.fs

2. This is a serious Noob question I know but I also can't seem to find
a simple yes no answer to this question- I am sure it is yes and perhaps
a pointer to a tutorial would be great- I want to have a custom skin on
a custom template for a particular folder- this is possible? I was
thinking that this might be the approach:

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/applying-a-custom-view-to-a-specif
ic-folder

So I would then have to create a template and a skin to add the custom
view?

3. We used sixfeetup to build our template and a customized version of
the plone4artists calendar and watching them do a buildout it always
seems they have to seriously customize the buildout script for whatever
it is they are publishing- so far I have not been able to get a step by
step- I would like to use a windows specific svn and buildout deployment
tool (not sure if this is the right terminology). Any recommendations
would be appreciated.

I hope to contribute as much as I am given help thank you so much for
reading this and providing any advice...

Sincerely
