Your best approach is to edit /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify 
script. NetBackup gives 6 different variables for each job which exits (read 
the script),  $5 is the exit status. You could modify it to do something like:

if [ $5 -gt 1 ]; then
   echo "$1 $3 on the $2 class failed with exit status $5" | mailx -s 
"NetBackup failure on $1" you AT yourdomain DOT com
fi

I'm trying to set up some simple email notifications when there are failures or 
incomplete backups running NB version 3.2 on a solairs 2.6 platform.

I thought it was something as simple as setting up some permissions through the 
3.2 gui, but I have not been able to find anything anywhere.  Am I just looking 
in the wrong place or does 3.2 not have email failure notifications built in?

Thanks!
