Modify this code with the appropriate entries for your email address/server and save it as a .vbs file. Then use the "call" statement within your backup batch file.

SMTPServer = "smtphost.domain.com"
Recipient = "you@yours.com"
From = "me@mine.com"
Subject = "Test email"
Message = "This is a two line test message" & vbcrlf & "Did you get it?" 

' To add an attachment update the full path and uncomment the line
' There is one line below that must also be uncommented


'attachment = "c: \ test.txt"


GenericSendmail SMTPserver, From, Recipient, Subject, Message

Sub GenericSendmail (SMTPserver, From, Recipient, Subject, Message) 

set msg = WScript.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
msg.From = From
msg.To = Recipient
msg.Subject = Subject
msg.TextBody = Message

' To add an attachment uncomment this line
'msg.AddAttachment attachment

msg.Configuration.Fields ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = SMTPServer
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

msg.Configuration.Fields.Update

msg.Send

So if you use the at or schtasks for your backups, put them into a batch file and then use call statement to run this with cscript. You can pipe output from the other commands into a text file to then attach to this email script by uncommenting the appropraite lines.
