To send messages to the global administrator about backups with a non-zero status

1. Install and configure a mail client on the server.

   See Installing and testing the email utility.

2. Edit the nbmail.cmd script on the server.

   See Configuring the nbmail.cmd script.

3. Open the NetBackup Administration Console on the master server.

4. Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Server.

5. Open the host properties of the master server.

6. Select Global Attributes.

7. In the Administrator's email address field, enter the email address of the administrator to receive the notification emails. (Separate multiple addresses with commas.) Click Apply.

   The global administrator's email address can also be changed by using the bpconfig command on the master server:

   Install_Path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpconfig -ma email_address
   

   For example:

   C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpconfig 
   -ma name@company.com
