Checking the Backup Log from another user

[Mark Rudloff]

I have a windows 2000 server operating on our network with
a small amount of users. I would like one of the network
users to check and maintain the backup. Is it possible for
a stndard user with Backup Operator rights check and view
the backup reports ?? I am unable to see the reports when
entering the view --> report in the native windows 2000
backup program.

Regards
Mark Rudloff

Create a shortcut to this batch file. The parameter is the path to the backup
users profile, like "C:\document and settings\Jerry"


@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set file=N
set user=%1
set user=%user:"=%
set folder=%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\NTBackup\data
REM The above 2 lines are 1 line
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%folder%\backup*.log" /b /O-D') do if "!file!"
EQU "N" set file=%%a
REM The above 2 lines are 1 line
start "!file!" "%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe" "%folder%\!file!"
endlocal
exit /b 0
