Install and test the BLAT email utility on Windows
BLAT is the most common application that is used for email notification. You must install and configure a mail client on the hosts that send email notifications.
To send email notifications from the client, install the mail client on the NetBackup client.
To send email notifications from the server, install the mail client on the NetBackup primary and the media server.
To test the email utility
- Create a test text file that contains a message. For example, create C:\testfile.txt
- From a command prompt, run:
blat C:\testfile.txt -s test_subject -to useraccount@company.com
If correctly configured, the contents of testfile.txt are sent to the email address that is specified.
