Send notifications to a host administrator about backups
You can send notifications to the host administrator about successful and failed backups for a specific host.
On UNIX, NetBackup uses the mail transfer agent sendmail to send email notifications. Windows requires that an application to transfer messages with SMTP is installed. You also must configure the nbmail.cmd script 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.
