Simple way to email nightly backup log?

On my non-SBS servers I run a script that will run backup to tape and
then email me the log file (actually to the support@xxxxxxxxxxx) and
this lets me and the person that changes the tapes know that things are
working (or not).

What if I want to do this with SBS, but I still want to allow the wizard
interface to work for the GUI?

Normally I have a batch file with the following contents:

rem @echo off

rem This batch file is scheduled with the AT command to run at 1am each
day.

rem Next line will refresh the remote storage management to recognized
rem new media that is inserted so the next backup command does not
fail,
rem thinking it is overwriting something it should not.


set logfile="%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft
\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\backup01.log"


del /Q C:\backups\Tape_backup.log
echo.Backup Started %date% %time% > C:\backups\Tape_backup.log
echo >> C:\backups\Tape_backup.log

start /wait rsm.exe refresh /LF"LTO Ultrium"

start /wait %windir%\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@c:\Backups
\NIGHTLY_TAPE_FULL.bks" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "Daily
MAIN Backup" /l:s /p "LTO Ultrium" /um

type %logfile% >> C:\backups\Tape_backup.log

@call C:\backups\eject_tape.bat
@call C:\backups\email_log.bat

Thanks
