Hi,

You can use schtasks command to monitor the scheduled tasks. You
interogate
the tasks like this:
schtasks /query /v /fo:list | findstr /i "Taskname Result"
And then send the result by email with a program like blat for example.

Hello all,

I am running ntbackup on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

Would anyone tell me if is there is any way I can configure(bat/
vbscript) whereby ntbackup will alert me by email when the backup job
has completed sucessfully or failed?

I can use blat to email the log file, like
c:\windows\system32\blat.exe "%lastfile%" -t "1...@xxxxxxx" -s "Backup
Report" -mime -server "smtp.server" -f "s...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -q

But how can I select the latest log file attach to mail?

==============

Which log file are you talking about - the one created by the scheduled
task
or the one created by ntbackup.exe?- Hide quoted text -

OH, I mean the log create by ntbackup, which place in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data
\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data

how can I select the latest log file attach to mail?
================
You can pick the most recent file with this batch file:
@echo off
set folder=d:\temp files
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /od /b "%folder%\*.log"') do set
MostRecent=%%a
echo %MostRecent% is the most recent file.- Hide quoted text -
