Catalog backup mail sender address

The policy of the catalog backup can be configured that the backup is sent as an attachment. The mail arrives but is it possible to change the sender address?

  • Would be nice if possible. But as far as I know you can't

    Only possibility is do system wide "send user" masking in sendmail.cf configuration file.

  • You are able to tailor the email process if you create the script /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/mail_dr_info.sh. Up to four parameters will be passed to the script such as the file name for the attachment. You can find more information in the documentation.

  • nice suggestion - just remeber this script may be overwritten by updates and patches,

  • I am unable to find /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/mail_dr_info.sh on my Linux boxes.
