Checking Windows Backup (ntbackup)

[Anthony Montibello]

HI List,

Other option for monitoring backups:
1) if the backup lists in a director use a FIleAge check
2) if the backup lists to Event Logs, do an eventlog Check
3) custom scripts as specified before.

There are several ways to do Fileage and Eventlogs,
NC_Net and NSCLient++ should be able to provide both of these
