Backup size alerts

Not sure if I am searching Google correctly for this so I though I would ask. We are running Netbackup 6.5.4 (with Blat installed) and I would like to know if there is a way to configure Netbackup to send an email message when any of the backups exceed a specified amount of space.

Thanks for your time

You can start by modifying /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify .

Lu,

Would this be on each client? We are running the Windows Netbackup server against Linux clients.

Thanks

Lu,

Wouldn't the backup exit notify send notifications for each time the backup completes? I just want to be notified if the backups exceed say 100GB.

VBR is able to do this, if you create a report with a condtion, but not for free.

This script is run on the master server. Finally the best is to use /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_notify because it contains the backupid. Then you have to modify this script to send only notifications when the size is greater than your limit. Use 'bpimagelist -L -backupid xxxx' to find the image size.
