I created this script a few years ago to fill a specific need of having the ntbackup log emailed to admins everyday. When I created it, I didn't think I would ever need it again because the places I tend to work for have enterprise backup systems in place. Well, I was wrong, I am working for a company that does not have an enterprise backup solution for it's R&D lab. I went hunting for this script and couldn't find it anywhere. I ended up contacting one of the admins at the client I originally created for and had him send it to me. I decided to post here because I am sure that I am not the only person who has needed this script.

While the script isn't perfect, it does get the job done. All it does is check the backup log directory for the most recently modified .log file, ports the contents of that file to another text file and then uses Bmail to send it in an email. I had to port the contents of the original log file to plain ASCII text file because of the formatting of the log file.

I am in the middle of creating a few other scripts to help with the management of NTbackup on multiple servers. I will post those scripts when I am finished with them.
