Backup Exec 2010

[ColinY11]

Hi

I have Backup Exec 2010 installed on my server. I am trying to setup reporting so when there is a successful / failure backup job there is an email sent to my email address notifiying me of this, i.e. a log report.

How can i do this within the Backup Exec software?

Thanks,

Colin

Hi,

Within BE itself you need to do the following from the Tools menu:

1. Configure an SMTP connection to an Exchange server. You'd need a username/password for authentication but you can create a dummy account if need be if your BESA doesn't have a mailbox account. (Tools --> E-mail and Pager Notification)

2. Create a new Person contact (yourself). (Tools --> Recipients)

3. Assign alerts from the Alerts tab to the contact created in #2 above. These alerts will be triggered to mail you when they are encountered.

Thanks!
