Just add Blat to your ntbackup script and you have notification... :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Abercrombie To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 12:15 PM Subject: Re: monitoring tips?
You can schedule email notifications upon completion of the BackupExec job. Not sure if NTBackup has that ability, but I know BackupExec does.

Anyone have something they are proud of that confirms backup/log file removal for multiple exchange servers? FE/BE setup with 3 mailbox servers, all running E2k3, W2K3 servers. All standard versions. (probably has to be free for me to be able to use it). Thanks for any help/suggestions. -- Sherry Abercrombie "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C.
