Send notifications to the backup administrator about failed backups
You can send notifications to the backup administrator about backups with a non-zero status.
On UNIX, NetBackup uses the mail transfer agent sendmail to send email notifications. For Windows, NetBackup requires that an application to transfer messages using SMTP is installed and that the nbmail.cmd script is configured on the Windows hosts that send notifications.
See Configure the nbmail.cmd script on the Windows hosts.
See Install and test the BLAT email utility on Windows.
To configure notifications for the backup administrator of a NetBackup host, see the following topic.
See Send notifications to a host administrator about backups.
