lyonrt Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 At work we use the windows backup utility. Is there a way to get the backup to email me that is failed and or that it is completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyonrt Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 What would you reccomend? I suggested rsync or similar but they want to stick to the bare bones software packaged with the server. Is there a way to get some sort of notification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 What is the backup software your using. Maybe it has something built in to do this already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 If its NTBACKUP you'd need a script that would email you the backup log it creates per job. I'm thinking of doing something similar, e.g. shedule NTBACKUP to start at 11PM then at 6AM shedule a script to send the log file to myself. Alt: Buy some better software (am looking at Backup Exec for SBS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
