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. An email can be sent to each client's administrator after all backups.

To send email notifications for all backups from a client

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

    See Installing and testing the email utility.

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

    See Configuring the nbmail.cmd script.

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

  4. Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients.

  5. Open the host properties for a client. Multiple clients can also be selected.

  6. Select Universal Settings.

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

    See Universal Settings properties.

  8. Enable the Client sends mail option and click Apply.
