Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me how I can setup email notification when a backup

job completes using the Windows Backup Utility? I cant find a VBScript for

this

anywhere.

 

Thank you!

The simplest way would be to embed your backup command

into a three-line batch file like so:

@echo off

ntbackup.exe /.. /.. /..

blat.exe /.. /.. /..

 

You can download blat.exe from a number of sites. The same

can be achieved with a VB script but it will take about 30 lines

of code just for sending the notification.

Thanks for the info.

 

What comes after the blat command?

blat.exe /.. /.. /..

Type blat.exe at the Command Prompt to see the many

switches the command has. Standard stuff for a System

Administrator!

Re: Windows Backup Utility - Email Notification

 

 

I found an article that said to use this:

c:\blat\blat.exe "%lastf%" -t some@address.com -s "Backup Report" -mime

-server smtp.some.domain -f "some@senderaddress.com" -q

 

I extracted blat.. and copied the blat.exe to windows/system32 folder (like

the directions said to do)

In my batch file I pointed the path to blat.exe where i extracted the

files.. should the path be pointed to the system32 folder instead?

 

When I run this backup neither path makes the email send.

Re: Windows Backup Utility - Email Notification

 

I am getting a little confused. You post in a server newsgroup

but your questions sound more like those coming from a

user. Please clarify so that I can formulate my answers

accordingly.

Re: Windows Backup Utility - Email Notification

 

No problem. When you do look for answers, get some

clarification on the concept of command execution and

the role of the %path% environmental variable. It is

central to your issue.
