Backup by smtp-service
Sebastian
I'm short before a mental crash.
Try to get solution for backing up a directory for hours now.
My idea was, to backup the content of a directory one time a day
(possibly incremental (and perhaps also packed)) and send it to an
e-mail-address.
I use Windows XP Proffesionell and have installed the "smtp-service".
How can I manage do do that?
Hallo!
Bin gerade halb am Verzweifeln.
Versuche jetzt schon einige Stunden, zu einer Lösung für das Backup
eines Verzeichnisses zu kommen.
Meine Idee war, den Inhalt des Verzeichnisses einmal täglich
(möglicherweise als inkrementelles Backup (möglicherweise auch gepackt))
automatisch als E-Mail zu versenden.
Ich verwende Windows XP Professionell und habe den "SMTP-Dienst"
intstalliert.
Wie mache ich das?

You're mis/underinterpreting what the IIS SMTP Service can do for your
requirement. It's an SMTP server. It doesn't do backups, zipping, or
generating outgoing e-mails (except for MDNs and DSNs, but that's another
matter).
What you need is
- a backup program -- built-in NTBACKUP would do you fine
- a task scheduler -- built-in Task Scheduler would do
- an SMTP client -- this could be a command-line SMTP sender such as
blat.exe or sendmail.exe or an SMTP library like CDOSYS that you can call
from a script
Configuring these components is outside the scope of this newsgroup.

Wow, thank you for your answer!
How can I do all that you said?
Which software do I exactly need to do all that?

Like I said,
- NTBACKUP comes with Windows
- Task Sched comes with Windows
- Find blat.exe or sendmail.exe via Google
How to put it all together (likely in a batch file) is outside the scope
of this group.
