NTBackup Alerts

[Guest AU]

Hello,

 

I am running NTBackup on Windows 2003 Standard Edition, can anyone tell me

if is there is something I can configure whereby NTBackup will alert me by

e-mail when the backup job has completed sucessfully or failed?

 

Thanks,

[Guest AU]

Ignore this request I used a script and an SMTP mailer and everything is fine

now.

You can easily do it yourself: Instead of scheduling ntbackup.exe directly,

schedule a batch file instead. It consists of two commands:

a) The full ntbackup.exe command with all its switches.

b) A command line mailer command that sends backup??.log to you.

 

blat.exe is such a command line mailer. You can download it from a number of

sites.
