I am totally new to Toucan but found it really useful in getting an external HDD mirrored to another. What I need now is to be able to perform an automatic backup every weekend, and will need to scale this over multiple HDDs(this is a longer term issue).
I went through the forum, but would love to have a primer wherein I can create a batch file to run a saved job on a schedule. I have zero knowledge of Lua but can hash up something with some help. Thanks.

are two ways of doing this, either you have Toucan running all the time and it performs backups at the right time using a script, or you run the Window Task Scheduler and get it to run Toucan with an appropriate command line parameter.
There are quite a lot of Task Scheduler examples on the internet, so if you want to do it the other way then you need a script that simply loops and waits, there are some examples of sleep functions here. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask!
