This would probably be better posted in a NON sbs Group

However I don't have the log emailed Just the Event complete or not complete

A Free Tool PA Server Monitor Free Edition

Will Email you the Backup Event.
Does that help?

Presumably these are non-windows servers? (Unix I recall provides a command
line tool to send emails, allowing you to generate emails from a script.)

Are you still intending to script this or JUST use the GUI? The scripting
solution has an answer, no idea how you would patch the GUI.

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).

This is just a plain/standard SBS setup, no third party backup.

I can see the logs, but on my standard servers I force the log to be
named BackupLog001.log and then I know exactly what name of file to
email myself.

I have a little exe file that will send SMTP to the local SBS exchange
server with attachments, I just wondered what, if any, you do to email
yourself the log for the nightly backup.

I have a boatload of SBS servers, the ones using the native backup don't
send emails/alerts that the backup completed via SMTP, so, when you're
doing remote maintenance there is nothing to indicate that a backup
completed. I could rename the backup file, force it to always be 001,
but that doesn't work well with the backup wizard screen since it allows
users to view the last 10 backup logs...

Got it - thanks - I think the idea of adding alert messages is just what
I needed. Thanks for bringing that method to my attention. With all the
the non-SBS stuff I do I had not even thought of using the alert system
to add one for it.

Thanks again!

Brian and all,

If you do this please can you post a link to it here? I'm keen on this too.
I get the report emailed each day, but a log file for the backup would be
good too.

Is it possible for it to search for the word "fail", or whatever would be in
the log to indicate a problem, and for that to be part of the subject
message line - so I know that this one is worth looking at ;-)

Regards.

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.

It's microsoft's replacement for the old command shell (FINALLY!) I'm
increasingly using it to automate things, and in other places using it to
replace old PERL scripts I had already written. Nothing against PERL, but
its win32 libraries were obviously written aftermarket and tend to be very
binary specific. I like that microsoft is finally opening their eyes to API
level scripting guys like me.

An email alert for success, modeled after the sbsbackup failure alert action
in health monitor will do the job. You can create custom alerts for anything
that's written to the event log with this method :-).

Another seldom used facility is in the Server Status Report configuration.
If you edit the report properties, you can add all or none of event logs,
IIS logs, and SBS Backup logs, as attachments to the report.

I would be interested in hearing more about this - I have not used the
SSR, so I'll start googling for it.

No need to google, open standard managment and go to the monitoring node.
Everything you need is there. Adding the logs to the report is part of the
GUI.

But seriously, you don't use the server status/performance reporting in SBS?
Surely that can't be so.
