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.

Have a nice day!

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?

Regards and Thanks,- Hide quoted text -

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 -

Thanks for your help!

I wrote a window bat as follow, but it run with error, please HELP!

Run bat under:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data
\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data
Error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
"%a " is the most recent file.

@echo off
set folder="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings
\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data"

for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /od /b "%folder%\*.log"') do set
set MostRecent=%%a

echo "%MostRecent%" is the most recent file.

Rem Mail latest log file to us
c:\windows\system32\blat.exe "%MostRecent%" -t "m...@xxxxxxxx" -s
"Backup Report" -mime -server "smtp.server" -f
"s...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -q

You added a set of double quotes to Line #2 which I did not have. You also
broke up the line below it and added an extra "set" word. Here is my batch
file again, this time line-numbered:
Line1: @echo off
Line2: set folder=d:\temp files
Line3: for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /od /b "%folder%\*.log"') do set
MostRecent=%%a
Line4: echo %MostRecent% is the most recent file.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for your help!
I complete the task with the following script.
Please point me out, if there's anything can improve. thanks a lot!



@echo on
setlocal


Rem Set folder name containing backup log files
set fld=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings
\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\

Rem This dir command will list all log files sorted by date in bare
format
set fcmd=dir "%fld%*.log" /OD /A-D /B

Rem set command will set lastf variable to the last file in set, i.e.
the latest one
for /F "tokens=* delims= " %%i in ('%fcmd%') do set lastf=%fld%%%i


Rem Mail latest log file to us
c:\windows\system32\blat.exe "%lastf%" -t "recciver@xxxxxxxxxxxx" -s
"Backup Report" -mime -server "smtp.XXX.org" -f
"bkpserver@mailaddress" -q

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

Looks fine to me. I would probably simplify the following line somewhat.
Instead of writing
for /F "tokens=* delims= " %%i in ('%fcmd%') do set lastf=%fld%%%i
I would write
for /F "delims=" %%i in ('%fcmd%') do set lastf=%fld%%%i

Note the missing space after the "=" sign.
