Hot Catalog backup producing 5 emails per day

I have been working on a new greenfield setup for our backup. One of the first things i have done is reimplement our daily hot catalog backup with off-site copy.

Of course i put an email address in the policy so we receive the DR information somewhere else then the backup systems.

 

What i am now noticing (more then with 7.6.0.3) is that we receive a lot of emails from the Hot Catalog policy. In 7.6.0.3 it was 3 emails per day (mother job, the actual backup and the SLP copy confirmation). With 7.7 i now get 5 emails, the mother, 3 sub jobs each backing up a certain part and the SLP copy.

 

Does anyone know if there is any way to just receive 1 email for the abckup and 1 email for the succesful SLP copy?

    Asuming TN 64984 is correct (https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH64984.html) it seems that my issue cannot be resolved.

    I receive emails for each backup as intended, even though it is 1 policy that spawns 5 jobs (master with 3 daughter jobs and 1 replication job).

    Since the jobs function as intended and the emails are sent as intended this is the correct working.

     

    No idea how i can make a suggestion to the devs to only sent a summary email for the master job except on failure, but will try to figure that out.

    in the GUI, select NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers > (double-click hostname) > Universal Settings > Server sends mail

    @Will restore

    I set the sevrer to "Server sends mail" instead of "Client sends mail", but it doesn't change the outcome.

    Hi Vincent - apologies, but when I read the above it's not clear to me whether, or exactly how the issue was resolved.  If you've managed to fix the issue, could I ask whether you would be willing to spend a minute or two explaining how you resolved the issue.  Thank you.

    That setting is set to server sends mail. Seems to have changed along with the master server version (guess it makes sense :)

    It doesn't change the results though since it was changed already and i still have the same load of spam coming in.
