Mail notification only works when successfull

[henrique_cano_2]

Hello All,

I have a strange problem.
I have set the unix clients to send mail notification.
But I am only receiveing the successfull ones, not when the backup fails.
What I am missing here?

That's the way it should work!

backups are not important.

Only restores count.

You can't restore from a failed backup.

So you should only care about the successful backups.

or you could check the script to ensure that only returns for the status > 1 will generate emails.

Oh, I was just kidding about the first part of my reply

I didnt make any script.
My theory is that the Client for linux from the NetBackup 6.0 is by default in this way..
Anyone has any sugestion?
