Two questions

[KenK]

Is there a way to save or print the Ntbackup results report?

Is there a simple way to print the screen contents as you could do under
the old Windows releases?

TIA

The tool has a "Report" button, which opens a file in Notepad.
I tried to use ProcessExplorer to find the open file handle,
but that didn't work. But Notepad at least browsed to the
correct folder, so I found the .log file.

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\backup01.log

That's a wrong answer. The correct answer is to use Jing. It runs fine
on XP and above.

I don't quite understand the (second) original question: the print
screen button works as it did in earlier Windows versions, so to print
the screen:

1. Press Prt Sc
(for the whole screen, including the taskbar if visible;
Alt+Prt-Sc to capture just the curremtly-active window)
2. Open, or switch to if already open, something in which you can paste
graphical content
(Paint, IrfanView, Word, ...; I'd use IrfanView)
3. Paste (Ctrl+V, or in most app.s Edit | Paste)
(you may have to set up whatever you're using to accept a paste)
4. Print (in whatever way you would normally in that application)
(In IrfanView, Ctrl+P)
5. Optionally, save the result as a file.

I am not familiar with "the Ntbackup results report"; if this produces
textual output as the result of a command line, then redirect its output
to a text file, which you can print, using the ">" character:

ntbackup blah blah > temp.txt

It produces a text file all on its very own. Now, I didn't test whether
the second backup becomes backup02.log, but I presume it does. In which
case, there's really no reason to print it at all. It's called .log
for a reason.
