Simon,

Here is a workaround.  I don't have much experience with the email
notification system because I can't get to a reliable relay host.  However,
the batch file supplied with Veritas is extremely simple and Blat is
extremely versatile.

1. Ask for an independent mailbox, ex., BackupAdmin AT astrium-space DOT com

2. Open the mailbox from your client pc.  Use this email account as the
"Universal Settings" email account and send all email status reports to this
account.

3. In your email client for this account, set up different rules (in Outlook
its called Rules Wizard) that will read each email and forward it to the
appropriate person.  Example, Sue AT astrium-space DOT com gets all email with
Server1 in the subject line or body.
william AT astrium DOT com gets a copy of all email with "class_DDrive" in body.

bpend_notify.bat (based upon the info in the NT Admin document) will provide
the following information in the body of the email.  Your kicker is the last
piece.  Just tell your users to be happy with a status code of 0 and let you
know if anything else comes through.

+ Name of the client from the NetBackup catalog.
+ Class name from the NetBackup catalog.
+ Schedule name from the NetBackup catalog.  One of the following:
   -FULL
   -INCR
   -CINC
   -UBAK
   -UARC
+ Status of the operation and is same as sent to the NetBackup server.  This
is 0 for successful backups and 1 for partially successful backups. If an
error occurs, the status is the value associated with that error.

The whole beauty of Datacenter is that most everything is scriptable.  I
really wouldn't want Veritas cluttering up the GUI with tabs and check boxes
for Email addresses.
