Email notifications in Backup Exec

Hi,

 

Please note that I need an answer for the following questions:

Is it possible to send email notifications with the statuses of the jobs to users or emails ourside the smtp server/

uf yes, what are the requirements?

Do i need to have smtp relay?

 

Thank you in advance

  • You need to have something that can relay your mail.

    If you don't have an own mailserver, you probably can use the one of your provider.

  • ...I don't think that all external email servers support this, so read the note on the TN below as this relates to Google mail for instance:
