Where can I find the log files generated by NTBackup in a W2k server? I am
going to write a VBSript to email the log file to me after NTBackup is
complete.

I can view the log by selecting the "Report... " from the Tools menu of the
NTBackup UI without any problem. However I was not able to locate
corresponding log files in disk. (In a Win2003 server, the login files are
found in "C:\Documents and Settings\LoginName\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data")

Thanks in advance!
