Windows 2008 Backup Eventlog

[tsauter102]

Hi all,

is it possible to monitor the eventlog file which is written by the Windows 2008 server backup?

This file is not available in the eventlog tab.

Tia,

Hi Thorsten, 

 

i agree it would be good to see the windows backup from event viewer in pc monitor. but a way that we get around this at the moment is to change the location of the windows backup event logs so that they are logged in the application event log and set notifications up from there??

 

does that help?

 

thanks. gary.

Hi Thorsten,

 

this has now been changed so that the new version incorporates the ability to set up event log notifications for the original location of the logs for windows server backup 2008+

 

Event log > Applications and Services > Microsoft > Windows > Backup
