NTBackup log files - HOWTO rename them



Greetings all,

I have a client who uses the built in backup utility(NTbackup) in 2003
SBS to backup their server. They also use NTBackup to backup a server
at a remote location. That file is then copied to the SBS server and
written to tape with everything else.

The remote server is a Windows 2000 box.

I have created a script, on the remote server, to run NTbackup, copy
the file accross the VPN and then email me when it is done.

I would like to modify that script a bit so that it attaches the log
file to the email. That part I can do.

What I would like to do is rename the NTbackup log file.

Essentially I would like to do something like: rename backup*.log
rename%date%.log

Anyone know how I can do that?

thanks.
.
