Send in an email attachment field

Symantec recommends that the disaster recovery report be sent to at least one email address. To send the information to more than one address, separate email addresses with a comma as follows:

email1,email2

The nbmail.cmd or mail_dr_info.cmd script must be configured (Install_path\NetBackup\bin\). In addition specify the email address(es) in the Disaster Recovery tab.

NetBackup performs the notification by passing the email addresses, subject, and message to nbmail.cmd or mail_dr_info.cmd. The scripts use the mail program that is specified in the script to send email to the user. See the comments in the script for configuration instructions.

The following points describe how mail_dr_info.cmd and nbmail.cmd interact:

If Install_path\NetBackup\bin\mail_dr_info.cmd is configured, the disaster recovery report is sent to the administrator(s) that are indicated in the Disaster Recovery tab. NetBackup administrators can set up the script to send the disaster recovery information to alternate locations.
If mail_dr_info.cmd is not configured, and Install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbmail.cmd is not configured, the disaster recovery report is sent to the administrator(s) that are indicated in the Disaster Recovery tab by nbmail.cmd.
If neither file is configured, NetBackup attempts to use Microsoft internal IMAPI services.

Note:

By default, neither nbmail.cmd nor mail_dr_info.cmd is configured to send email.
