Read last backup status via script (vbs)

Thread needs solution

Hello all,
we are using BGInfo from Sysinternals/Microsoft to display some informations on the Server when loggin in as Administrator (i.e. Last reboot, last logged on user, public ip..)

I like to display the latest Backup-Status (i.e. Last Backup: successful, with warnings...) on that screen too. Best way to do things like this, is to add a vbs-script which reads the informations.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this (or even better - already done that)?

Thanks in advance
BrunoK

Hello!

1. Install ABR command line (CommandLineTool.msi)
2. Parse output of the following command:
acrocmd list plans --output=raw

3rd column - Backup-Status (ok, warning, error)

JScript example is attached (run "runme.cmd").
