BackupEventLog

Backups an event log

Use the "File" or the "Dir" checkbox in the NTinfo event log reader to read archived logs.

BackupEventLog Machine ; EventLog ; BackupFilePath ; AddToBackupFileName

Machine

Name of machine on which to backup the log

EventLog

Name of log to backup

BackupFilePath

Full path to destination directory

AddToBackupFileName

Files saved are automatically named with the syntax "machine,logname,xxx.evt", xxx=AddToBackupFileName.

Use AddToBackupFileName for own comments / naming.

Examples
1) Create a backup file of the application log on \\main01 in the c:\winnt directory of \\main011

BackupEventLog \\main01 ; Application ; c:\winnt\ ; %date%

2) Move the above file to the c:\ root of the machine on which NTreport is executed (It is not possible to directly create backup files on remote machines.)

DOS move "\\main01\admin$\main01,application,%date%.evt" c:\
