Backup Manager Alert Options

You can use the Alert notification system to send messages about events that appear in the Activity Log during your backup operation. Choose one or more of the following events for which you want to be notified:

• Job Completed Successfully--All of the nodes and drives/shares were processed.
• Job Incomplete--Some nodes, drives, or shares were missed.
• Job Canceled by User--The user canceled the job.
• Job Failed--The job was started but could not be completed.
• Virus Detected--A virus was detected in one of the files to be backed up. See Virus options (Backup, Copy, Count).
• Media not Available--Media was not available during the execution of a job.

  Note: The backup media must be tape media.

• Format Blank Tape--A tape was formatted during the execution of a job.
• Customized Event--A customized event occurred. To specify this type of event, enter an error, warning, or notification code in the space below the Event drop-box.

Choose one or more of the defined Alert configurations. The <default> configuration means that you will use whatever is configured in Alert Manager. Click Configure to define further configurations. Arcserve Backup provides the following defined Alert configurations:

• Broadcast
• Pager

  Note: Pager options are not supported on Japanese versions of Arcserve Backup.

• SMTP
• SNMP
• Event
• Printer
• E-Mail
• Lotus Notes
• Unicenter TNG

Specify miscellaneous options:

• Attach Job Log--Lets you include the job log information in the Alert message. (This option applies for Trouble Tickets and Mail only.)

  Note: The list you create using Alert Options is saved with the Job Script and the configuration defined using the Configuration button.

• Send alert messages only for master jobs--Lets Arcserve Backup send you alerts that reference only the master job number in the Alert message. The alert messages will not reference child and subjob numbers. You can specify this option on all jobs, including multiplexing and multistreaming jobs.
