How to add an email address to NetBackup Notifications

I receive notification emails daily when a backup fails. It was configured for me by a vendor.

Where is the area (in the Java console or web UI) in which I can add other email addresses for the notifications to be sent to.

  • Java Console > Host Properties > Master Servers > Master Server Properties > Global Attributes.

    At the bottom should be 'Administrator email address:'

    This should be what you are looking for.

      I've found out that the other email address has been already added. The entries look like this:

      MyAddress@OurCompany.com,HisAddress@OurCompany.com

      But I only receive the notifications. He doesn't.

      Do you have any idea why he doesn't?

      The /etc/aliases file looks like the below, and says that aliases will be visible from /bin/mail. But /bin/mail reads like gibberish.

      And the article doesn't look like it applies to my master server which is RHEL, especially because the aliases directory is different.

      does someone have clear step-by-step instructions on how to configure notification emails in RHEL 8.9?
