It's the one that you downloaded, rdiff-backup.1.1.17-cvs.win32-py2.5.exe. 
You could rename that to rdiff-backup.exe.

Exactly the same as above, i.e. doing the same things that you would do 
from the command line to run rdiff-backup manually. That's all a batch 
file is, a series of commands to run.

Cheers, Chris.
