They wish to finally install their first server for the next school year, and I've set them up with a Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 host (the free OS) with guest machines doing the actual work. I've got everything working just fine, but I would like to know if there is a convenient and free way to monitor the nightly backups. I've created a backup schedule using wbadmin to write out to a second disk, but since I'm not on site every day it would be ideal to have a copy of the backup report emailed at the completion of each day's job. I know I can grab the contents of the log from C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup in a separate scheduled task, but it would be great to have it all tied up neatly in a single process. Anyone have any methods for accomplishing this? Thanks, RS ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
