If you want it to email you every time a backup fails, as opposed to
sending you a compiled report of daily failures, here's what I would
do...

Modify the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify script by right
under this line:

# might want to mail this info to someone 

And add this:

if [ $5 != 0 ]
then
   cat $OUTF | mailx -s "Backup of $1 exited with status $5"
you AT email DOT com
fi
------

This script is managed by bpsched and runs automatically every time a
backup completes. If you add an if statement like the one above, it will
email you every time it runs and finds a backup status of anything other
than 0.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Email Failed Backups Only


We currently have backup info emailed via the Host Properties(Global
Properties) option in the GUI. This emails successful backups as well as
failures.

Is there any way to setup NetBackup to only email 
failed backups.

Thanks a lot.
