You can use Powershell to get event logs http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176846.aspx Then use it to output them to a folder. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd315303.aspx You could design a Powershell script that does this, and then schedule it with task scheduler. http://www.searchmarked.com/windows/how-to-schedule-a-windows-powershell-script.php Then schedule a regular backupBits of Fury

create a backupEvt.vbs file with following content and launch with cscript backupEvt.vbs at dos prompt strComputer="." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Backup,Security)}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLogFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NTEventLogFile") For Each objLogfile in colLogFiles objLogFile.BackupEventLog("C:\temp\" & objLogFile.LogFileName) objLogFile.ClearEventLog() Next ENJOY!!!! Plz mark it as answer SV

I think Attrib75 and Vai2000 have the right idea.For additional help with scripts, try the Scripting Guys Forum. See also the blogs at the Script Center.

Hi vai2000, Is there a way to modify the saved name of the log file ? Instead of system.log nameoftheserver-system.log And another question is, to save in a share for example \\server1\logs$ ?Guilherme Teles
