Backup Exec

[Mr_M_Cox]

Hi all, I know this is quite a big question but i need to set up reporting in bcakup exec 10d and 11d.

In the past we have just mapped to a ntbackup reports folder and let the staff check in there. Now we are using BE i need a way of outputting a simple as poss reports saying backup successful or failed.

 

Any ideas

why not get it to email you everyday the reports and errors / media requests?

 

in my inbox this morning i have

 

(Server: "SERVER1") The Backup-to-Disk device is offline.

 

This is typically caused by the folder becoming inaccessible due to it being deleted, renamed, or unshared. It may also be caused by a disk full condition. The folder state has been set to offline. Please attend to this condition. Additional detail may be found in the Event Viewer - Application Log.

i went over and plugged in the correct USB Drive and off it went.

I would love to do that but the way our authority is set up means no exchange servers and all email based on a third party web based system!

Our authority also hosts a web based email service but that doesn't stop WSUS emailing reports to us as they still provide an SMTP relay service. Are you sure you're LA don't provide that service?
