NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

To configure the nbmail.cmd script on the Windows hosts

1. Create a backup copy of nbmail.cmd.
2. On the primary server, locate the following script:

   install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\nbmail.cmd

3. Copy the script to the following directory on the applicable hosts:

   install_path\NetBackup\bin\

   Primary and media server	NetBackup sends notifications from the server if you configure the following setting: The Administrator's email address in Global Attributes. The Server sends email option in the Universal Settings.
   Client.	NetBackup sends notifications from the client if you configure the following setting: The Client sends email option in the Universal Settings.

4. Use a text editor to open nbmail.cmd.

   The following options are used in the script:

   -s	The subject line of the email
   -t	Indicates who receives the email.
   -i	The originator of the email, though it is not necessarily known to the mail server. The default (-i Netbackup) shows that the email is from NetBackup.
   -server	The name of the SMTP server that is configured to accept and relay emails.
   -q	Suppresses all output to the screen.

5. Adjust the lines as follows:

   • Remove @REM from each of the five lines to activate the necessary sections for BLAT to run.

   • Replace SERVER_1 with the name of the mail server. For example:

     @IF "%~4"=="" (
     blat %3 -s %2 -t %1 -i Netbackup -server emailserver.company.com -q
     ) ELSE (
     blat %3 -s %2 -t %1 -i Netbackup -server emailserver.company.com -q -attach %4
     )

6. Save nbmail.cmd.
