[Guest Glenn Clark]

Hi all

 

Is it possible to get a w2k3 server to email when it has completed a backup?

Yes - you can use BLAT or similar (google for it) and then use a batch file

to run the backup itself...which specifies the BLAT commands in it.

 

If you're using NTBackup & aren't a whiz with batch files for this stuff,

try checking out BackupAssist - it's a handy little "wrapper" application

for NTBackup & I think it may do emailing as well. I believe there's an eval

for download.

Yes, it is.

 

 

 

 

(In case you wanted to know HOW - use a Command Line

mailer such as blat.exe.)
