Im trying to set up notification services in MS sql 2005 and it is asking me for a xml configuration file and I'm not sure what to put in this file. Can anyone sent me an example for this.
 
I don't have a sample available, but don't get to used to Notification Services. It's been removed from SQL Server in SQL 2008, and will probably be totally gone by the next release.

Mr Denny, what would you recommend instead of notification services.

What's the end result that you are trying to accomplish?

I want to have an email sent out saying that the backup went well or not.
 
You don't want to use Notification Services for that.

Setup database mail, and SQL Agent mail and configure the job to send you an email on completion. The email should then tell you if the job failed of succeed.
