InfoShop is the technical support division of Busted Networks Ltd. and we are primarily product users not developers. However, we thought we might share some scripts along the way and would be happy to accept feedback or code contributions that aid the system administrator.

We cannot provide support for these scripts but if you wish to contact us with feedback or contributions please email support@bustednetworks.com

Backup script for Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 server products

This script utilises ntbackup.exe, the backup product that ships with the Windows Operating System, but provides better resilience and reporting in automated environments than the bare backup program itself. It covers the file system, system state, Exchange and Sharepoint. More detailed logging than the ntbackup and the results and logs are delivered by email. Get the script here and the (brief) documentation here.
