Exit code of NTBACKUP

Does NTBACKUP return any exit code telling us if a backup is successful?
Besides exit code, will there be any way to check if an ntbackup fails?



Thanks in advance!

Check the log file?

Checking the log file is currently what I do. However there are too many
servers and many log files to be check everyday. What I am planning to do is
to write a VBScript to call NTBackup and the script will send me a message
telling me if the backups are successful or not.
