Need alerts for long running jobs

[matt_fitch]

Is there a way to get email alerts for jobs that run outside of a backup window? IE: I'd like to get an alert if any of my backup jobs run past 7am. I'd prefer not to stop the backup job, I just want the alert. I am using backup exec 2010 R2.

Thanks in advance.

Not currently posssiby a good idea for a future enhancemnet.

Use the Create Menu at the top of the forums to submote and Idea that other customers can then vote on and that Symantec can then review for future enhancements.

EDIT: You might be able to do something with BEMCLI and some scripting to run a status request against the job name and to send an e-mail if status is running - This would needs some kind of 3rd party mailing utility as well.

You can use Windows Scheduler to schedule  this BEMCLI cmdlet at 7 a.m. to get the list of active jobs.

Get-BEJob -Status Active

and then send the result via e-mail using Powershell commands.  One method is give here

No special 3rd party utility is required.

You would need to prepare your Powershell environment for BEMCLI.  See
