E Enkidu Mar 6, 2004 #3 A two line script should do it. Click to expand... To expand a little on that, you could write a script to firstly do a backup and then secondly to email you the backup file. How you would do step two is off topic for this group, but you could use something like "blat" or a small Perl program or something similar. Have a look at the scripts in this reference for some ideas on how to do the first part: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;239892 Cheers, Cliff

L Lanwench [MVP - Exchange] Mar 6, 2004 #4 Agreed - I use BLAT for this. It's kind of a pain to install correctly, but then it works fine. blat %bkdir%\_notify.txt -mime -t "%notify%" -cc "%notifycc%" -subject "Backup Logs for %srvname%" -f <e-mail address of sender> -attach %bkdir%\logs\%logfile% (variables are of course defined in the backup batch file I schedule the job with)
