Subject | GBAK - Last date and time (stamp) |

Hi,
All our customers use cron (nncron) (hate AT) on windows (XP,NT,2000) to run
gbak every night before the tape/CD/Zip backup runs.
My problem is that I would like to check the date and time of the last gbak
from the client and show a popup saying "Your backup is more the 2 days
old".
The ideal solution would be something like having gbak to write the stamp
into the database when gbak finishes!
I know I could share the folder on the server and check the date through the
filesystem, but some of our customers uses gbak on Zip/CD directly and I
don't like shares (people should keep there hands off the server!!)
Any suggestions?
