USEMAIL option for NetBackup clients

The USEMAIL entry specifies the email address where NetBackup sends status on the outcome of operations for a UNIX client.

Table: USEMAIL information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup UNIX clients.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

USEMAIL = name1@xxx.com,name2@xxx.com,name3@xxx.com

Note:

Separate multiple email addresses using a comma, with no spaces.

Add USEMAIL as follows:

  • If the USEMAIL specifies an address, NetBackup sends automatic backup and manual backup status to that address.

  • If the $HOME/bp.conf file specifies an address, NetBackup also sends status on the success or failure of user operations to that address.

This option should appear only once in the configuration file.

Equivalent Administration Console property

NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Double-click on client > Universal Settings.

See Universal Settings properties.
