In my experience, NTBACKUP exits with the same status code (error level) regardless of total success, completed with warnings, failed to complete, job definition missing, tape not loaded, computer on fire, etc. That makes it difficult for a script to make that decision. You might be able to do something where you use a FINDSTR or GREP pattern to identify and exclude all the "normal" log messages, run the log through that, and if there's anything left, decide there was a problem. But it'd be a lot of work, rather fragile, and a horrible kludge. If you want that kind of reporting, you should prolly just buy a better backup program. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
