Re: Simple way to email nightly backup log?

If you are willing to "upgrade" to powershell, I think I have a script that will get what you want.

Presumably what you are after is a command line "sendmail" (but a Windows
equivalent). Doing a Google for "email from command line" brings up a few
hits on the first page which look like they might do what you want - some
free, some not. If you are after a command line equivalent of sendmail and
none of those solutions does what you want then drop me an email to confirm
your requirements because on the face of it I'm sure I could write a short
utility to your requirements (nil cost).

I already have a exe that will email files/subject/user and from, from
the command line.

The issue is SBS specific - as SBS will rename the log file each time it
runs a new backup.

Using my script from above I get the nightly backup logs on every server
where I use NTBackup manually, even on SBS, but I wanted to keep using
the nice/pretty Wizard and Status page that non-technical users see the
backup status for the last 10 backups - and I wanted to not mess with
the SBS scheme.

What I need is a Batch File method to get the most recent file name so
that I can use it in my script.
