For now the scrips run perfect, but is it possible to mail a report to multiple mail adresses. my first idea maybe the same as yours:”Distribution group”. but the problem is that the report needs to be send to an internal and 2 external adresses.

i have tried to set it in an external file with the option @path
and with the ; mark. but non of them works and with these options it won’t mail at all.

so maybe you could help me out this little issue

thanks
Kevin

Also,the server I am backing up is also the email server.

I’m very new to scripting and could do with a little help.

The above scripts looks like just the thing i need to help me automate the backups at my school. But that said i’m a bit lost as to how to get it to work.

I’ve managed to get the varibles put in at the top. but after that i’m lost.

My questions are

1. how do you create the backup list file in NTBackup?
2. can this script complete incremental backups?
3. were do you put the varible and what is the line of code you put to set the script to run the different types of backups?

If someone has a working example they are using that wouldbe great i can then work from that possibly.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Simon

Found your script for automatic scheduling of backups.

I’m very new to all this and could do with some help.

I’ve got as far as the variables and have been able to insert the net use stuff needed to connect up tot he nas drive.

But after that i seem to be lost.

Can i ask were exactly do you add the variable for the type of backup? and whats the code.

Also on this point can the script handle doing incremental backups?

Do i need to create a separate bks file that includes all the files i want to backup? are there any examples of this? would this backup file need to be located in the same folder as the bat file.

Thanks for the help.

I’ve finished making a batch file for taking backups from our system to a NAS disc. I’m a newbie at making batch files, from what i can read in your code it’s hard to modify for only sending a notification e-mail with the backuplog.

So how should i do in order to send a notification mail with our backuplog?

(.bat file as follows)
net use x: \\XX.XXX.XXX.XXX\backup /user:*username* *password*
REM this maps our NAS to X:

ntbackup backup “@C:\test\backup.bks” /m normal /f “X:\veckobackup.bkf” /l:s
REM backs up files specified in backup.bks to X: and saves a logfile

end

Thanks in advance!

@lava: Looks like you named your computer COMPUTERNAME… is that right?? I don’t think it will work if you leave the source variable blank, but you could try renaming it if your computer is in fact named COMPUTERNAME

will it work if we leave the source variable blank for systemstate backup ??
