Is it possible to provide email notification using NTBackup?

HI

I have a couple of servers that use NTbackup to backup to usb drives at night.

Is it possible to get an email notification setup on this backup job?

thanks

You can use my script as a sample of what to do - I can't provide much help on it, but your welcome to review it - you can find it at www.lwcomputing.com/mysoftware.asp
If its SBS server you are using just configure Monitoring & Reporting in the server management console. This will allow you to receive information about various aspects of the server to a specified email.
