Windows Server Backup - WBAdmin

[ejon]

Hi,

 

Previously with Windows 2003 using NTbackup for ext USB HDD i am able to.....

 

1. Create a Backup

2. Specify the location and the name of the logfiles

3. Create separate folders for different days of backup using a batch file

4. Send out a notification to a designated email address of logs using BLAT.EXE

 

However with the new wbadmin.. i cannot perform most of the above mentioned....

Has anyone created a script to do the following??? it would take a good load off my sholders.

 

Cheers

 

EJon

I have finally configured a workaround on this topic.

 

1. Scheduled Backup:

 

Winthin Windows backup itself - created a schedule for a weekly backup - very simple

 

2. Notification:

 

Notification was a bit tricky as i have to create a task on task scheduler to trigger an email when a backup successfully complete or failed.

Please let me know if you need moer info on this.

 

3. Folder Organisation

 

Wbadmin does all this.. not required.

 

 

Cheers!

for server it is much safer to use one reliable method to backup. the tool built-in windows can do these, an article about this topic i found. if you have interest you can go.
