Windows Server 2008 - Windows Server Backup - Email Alerts

  • 772

I would like to create a script that emails me when a scheduled daily backup runs. I'd prefer the email to indicate success or failure. I understand that this is not an easy thing to do with Windows Server 2008.

Is it possible? If so, how?

Thanks

    Easiest way would be to setup an alert from the eventlog for backup events.

    Otherwise roll your own PowerShell script to control the backup and alerting (WSB comes with a number of cmdlets for PowerShell)
