Sending messages to the administrator about successful and unsuccessful backups
An alternative to sending all emails through the master server is to send emails through each client or through the media server that backed up the client. An email can be sent to the administrator after every backup.
To send email notifications for all backups from a client
- On a Windows client, install and configure a mail client.
See Installing and testing the email utility on Windows.
On the client or the media server, edit the nbmail.cmd script, depending on whether Client sends mail is enabled or Server sends mail is enabled in step 6.
- On the master server, open the NetBackup Administration Console.
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients.
- In the right pane, double-click the client you want to modify. Multiple clients can also be selected.
- In the properties dialog box, in the left pane, select Universal Settings.
- Enable the Client sends mail option or if the client cannot send mail, enable the Server sends mail option.
- In the Client administrator's email field, enter the email address of the administrator(s) to receive the notification emails. (Separate multiple addresses with commas.) Click Apply.
