Email Alerts for Failed Backup Jobs

[Vamsi1]

Team,

Currently email alerts are configured in Netbackup and everything is working fine. Email flow was more so though to filter the alerts like email needs to genereated only when a backup failure occurs,

Can someone please help me, How to configure/filter email alerts only for the failed backups jobs in Netbackup 7.5?

If you are getting email alerts already, then someone must have previously configured the script located at: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify This script could possibly be sending emails for all backup end events. If you would like some assistance in modifying it then you'll need to post a copy here, and hopefully someone will help you configure/amend it to only email upon failed backups.

Btw that script exists on the master server.

Remove the email address in Universal Settings and add to Global Attributes only. See: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000035984
