    If you only need Backup Status reports, have a look at the free version of OpsCentre.

    If you want email notification from NBU, you will need to install an email client (like BLAT for example) and then add email address to NBU Host Properties.
    See:

    use the command 

    bperror -jobid <jobid>

    it should help you to get the log, you can redirect it to the text file if you wnat..

    bperror -jobid 7249350  >> C:/tmp/joblog

     

    if it is for one or 2 jobs request.. you can simple copy and past the detail status of the job to the text file

    The txt version of the details for a job in activity monitor can be found in the trylogs dir

    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/trylogs

    Named after the jobid

    1) Open the job from GUI, copy and paste the job details

    2) As stated by Martin, /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/trylogs/xxx.t  (where xxx is the jobID)

    Note that the difference between the above is the date/time formatting. I prefer to just copy and paste which will give me the readable date & time, for trylogs, it will in timestamp format, and you will need to use "bpdbm -ctime" to conver that.
