This is pretty good; I've been looking for some ways to improve the e-mail 
notification from NetBackup.

One of the things that I've wanted to do is also pull the Job ID and send that 
in an e-mail. I also wanted to figure out how to include the file list for the 
failed job in the e-mail.

Anybody out there doing anything like this?

Basically use a text file as a "bookmark" of sorts.


Something like the following:
After every failure, add the client/policy name to the text file.

Then after a failure, count the number of times the policy/client name appears 
in the file, and you can determine if you've reached your "max try" value.

When either you get a successful backup, OR your # of failed attempts = "max 
try", you clean up your bookmark file, and send the appropriate notification 
e-mail.

Been doing this here for about 3 years.
