How to configure NetBackup 7.1 to send email notification

Quick guide for you ...

download blat and copy it to the Windows\system32 directory so that it is in the path

run blat -install <your_smtp_servername> <your_emailaddress_that_sendmail>

In the \veritas\netbackup\bin\ directory you will find nbmail.cmd (or it may be in the bin\goodies\ directory - if so copy it to the bin directory)

Edit this so that the rem'd out line has the correct smtp server name (Warthog below) and sender name (NetBackup below) and remove the @REM:

@REM blat %3 -s %2 -t %1 -i NetBackup -server WARTHOG -q

Depending on what you want it to do you can then set this up under the Master, Media and Clients Host Properties - setting these as "Master Sends mail"

Do work through the guide but this gives you an idea.

Again depending on your version, the Hot Catalog backup e-mail gets sent when you copy the nbmail.cmd to the same directory and rename it as mail_dr_info.cmd but edit the line that has the -attach %4 on the end so that it attaches the DR file to the e-mail.

Hope this helps
