You are correct that owner notification is only done when the savegroup
completes.
There is a problem with this also. If a group is aborted the owner
notifications don't get sent either.
We have a RFE in with Legato so that aborted groups stil run onwer
notifications.

Subject: [Networker] Immediate reporting of client-level backup failures
Good-day all,
We have a requirement in which rapid response is required to failed
client backups.
The current approach using email/pager notifications linked to savegroup
completion events is not working well enough.
There are hundreds of clients in about 10 groups, so the groups often
run for 12 hours (or more).
The savegroup notification is only issued when the savegroup finally
ends.
If a client fails early on, this would typically only be reported say
10 hours later.
This is too late to investigate and fix the client problem during the
backup window.
We have been advised to try the "owner notification" feature which is
configurable per client.
Functionally, this is better, but I seem to recall that this too, is
only issued when the entire savegroup completes.
Question
Has anyone been faced with this requirement to take immediate corrective
action to failed client backups during the backup window ?
If so, how did you arrange per/client failure notifications in real time
?
I suppose it might be possible to hook into the save processes on the
client itself and work from there ?
Has anyone tried anything like this ?
regards,
John Hope-Bailie
