Apologies if you already know this :-)
You can also redirect the error messages to a separate file if you need to
using '1' and '2' like on unix.
I schedule file1.cmd which contains the line
file2.cmd 1>log.txt 2>errors.txt
to sort the output into useful files.
Actually I use this to do my repo backups, and file2.cmd contains

move /y u:\svnbak\svndump_repo.exe u:\svnbak\prev
svnadmin dump d:\svn\repo > svndump_repo.dump
7z a -sfx -mx=9 svndump_repo.exe svndump_repo.dump
move svndump_repo.exe u:\svnbak
del svndump_*.dump

which keeps the previous dumped repo (if I was paranoid I wouldn't be using
tsvn),
dumps the repo (actually several)
create a .exe from the dump using 7zip
moves it to a network share.

The "Dumped revision" messages all go into errors.txt and the rest goes into
the other file.
