Hi,

I'm looking for a monitoring tool for Ntbackup. In fact, i'm looking
for a very simple system that can watch each nght if to backup it's ok
and send an email message if an error occur.

Is somebody use a such system ?

Thanks in adavnce for your help, and excuse me for my bad english ;-)

I use such a system all the time. It consists of basic commands,
most of which are already included in Windows 2000.

1. Save the most recent backup log file. Look for files backup??.log in
your profile folder. The following line, when executed in a batch file
from within the appropriate folder, will do it:
@echo off
echo F | xcopy /d "backup*.log" Backup.log

2. See if the file contains any errors:
set Errors=No
for %%a in (Error Fail Abort) do type Backup.log | find /i "%%a" && set
Errors=Yes

3. Send yourself an EMail message:
if %Errors%==No goto :eof
blat . . . .

You can use any of the freely downloadable command line
mailers, e.g. blat, mailto, sendmail.

Hi,
